The Vampiric Queendom of The Countess is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by The Countess with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 14.534 billion Countessians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Freizn. The average income tax rate is 34.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Countessian economy, worth a remarkable 1,467 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 100,948 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Young and brooding teens are welcomed with open arms to the Dogwarts School of Strangeness and Sorcery, skateboarding is considered a form of diplomacy, genetic researchers have been expelled, and dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Countess's national animal is the raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Violetism.

The Countess is ranked 81,550^th in the world and 1^st in Leo Belgicus for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,957.81 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
