The Dominion of Patriarchic Bliss is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Major Ity with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, disturbing lack of elderly people, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.65 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, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Patriarch City. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Patriarch economy, worth a remarkable 6,959 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 653,473 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens who fail to follow the official national religion are executed, modern warfare's call of duty isn't popular with gamers these days, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and the nation has unofficially betrayed its values. 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 286,000^th in the world and 3,857^th in the Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 1.22 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
