The Dominion of Patriarchic Bliss is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Major Ity with an iron fist, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, vat-grown people, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.679 billion Patriarchs are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Patriarch City. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Patriarch economy, worth a remarkable 7,882 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 674,941 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Much of Patriarchic Bliss's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence, Major Ity's Dreadnought-class tankbuster limousine is said to have more ammunition than the entire Brancalandian Army, posters remind people that 'Hoarding Mushrooms Is Theft', and the government has stated an intention to min-max its stats for 'teh pwnage'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Patriarchic Bliss's national animal is the unicorn, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Bow down to your God-King Major Ity.
Patriarchic Bliss is ranked 76,889th in the world and 1,201st in the Pacific for Most Income Equality, scoring 48.6 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
