The Holy Empire of Ragnar Blackmane is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, prohibition of alcohol, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working population of 4.521 billion Ragnar Blackmaneans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 30.1%.

The Ragnar Blackmanean economy, worth 179 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,655 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

More than one company makes the board game Monopoly, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, death row inmates cower in fear at the phrase "one-year anniversary", and former bars are desperately trying to re-brand themselves as cafés. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ragnar Blackmane's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ragnar Blackmane is ranked 105,662^nd in the world and 1^st in Barbarus for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 830.21 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
