The Dictatorship of Blodaskep is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 527 million Blodaskapians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hlanear. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.2%.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Blodaskapian economy, worth 30.5 trillion Tajs 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Trout Farming, 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 57,960 Tajs, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

Police officers have nearly cracked a major underage astronomy syndicate, power to the people comes from the barrel of a gun, midnight raids drag couples from their homes in the name of decency, and confused-looking pigeons slide gently off frictionless window ledges. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blodaskep's national animal is the Mlan'n, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Blodaskep is ranked 95,425^th in the world and 16^th in The Invaders for Smartest Citizens, with 37.43 quips per hour.
