The Count of CountBleck is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Count Bleck with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, ritual sacrifices, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.887 billion CountBleckians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Castle Bleck. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.0%.

The strong CountBleckian economy, worth 103 trillion coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 54,784 coins, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 321,712 per year while the poor average 4,354, a ratio of 73.9 to 1.

Politicians' smiles are legally considered a form of disaster relief, carpet bombing has decimated Brasilistan's landscape and population, Castle Bleck holds its breath as nuclear warfare is being seriously considered, and the nation is weighing the price of victory following a nuclear strike. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. CountBleck's national animal is the butterfly, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Blumierite Violetism.

CountBleck is ranked 219,407^th in the world and 17^th in Castle Bleck for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,087.68 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
