The World Order of Blicia is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Andrew Garther with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.871 billion Normerics 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hadden. The average income tax rate is 74.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Blician economy, worth a remarkable 1,313 trillion Cyrpto-currencies 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. 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 impressive 166,932 Cyrpto-currencies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Exceptionally healthy police officers can sprint after crooks for hours on end, hammer and sickle-wielding space marines are such stuff that dreams are made on, boys who even ask about cheerleading are placed on the Sex Offenders Register, and blasphemers and government critics often die in very unusual and unlikely accidents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blicia's national animal is the Golden Californian Hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Militarism.

Blicia is ranked 18,608^th in the world and 577^th in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 87.44 on the Human Development Index.
