The Technocracy of Blakcat is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Aleis Ketch with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.554 billion Blakcatians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alpha 4. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Blakcatian economy, worth 861 trillion kits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 242,332 kits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

You can call your arthritic immigrant neighbour for all your roof-tiling and guttering needs, the new national anthem passes the Turing Test, nuclear physics is the most popular course at university, and government fact-checkers use surprising amounts of high explosive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blakcat's national animal is the Black Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Blakcat is ranked 8,625th in the world and 488th in Osiris for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 6,119.05 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
