The Imperial Crownlands of The Blacklight Empire is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its restrictive gun laws and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 7.614 billion Dwarves 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 large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 44.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Dwarven economy, worth 154 trillion Drens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 20,298 Drens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Blacklight Empire's national animal is the Bear.

The Blacklight Empire is ranked 137,342^nd in the world and 6,258^th in Lazarus for Most Patriotic, with 11.3 flags saluted per person per day.
