The Confederacy of Blood Feud is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by King Satan with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, public floggings, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.01 billion Blood Feudians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hatred. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Blood Feudian economy, worth a remarkable 1,661 trillion Bootstraps 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 an amazing 276,482 Bootstraps, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,521,108 per year while the poor average 25,493, a ratio of 59.7 to 1.
Warning signs caution Blood Feudians where they may fall off 'the edge of the world', monks aren't the only ones who take vows of silence, conscientious objectors are hanged as traitors, and wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations". Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Blood Feud's national animal is the Wolverine, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The 4th Turning.
Blood Feud is ranked 4,049th in the world and 99th in the Rejected Realms for Highest Average Incomes, with 276,482.51 Standard Monetary Units.
