The Confederacy Minecraft of Block Craft is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Brawijaya II with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 10.153 billion BlockCraftians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Minecraftnesia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.4%.

The frighteningly efficient BlockCraftian economy, worth a remarkable 1,386 trillion Coin Diamonds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 136,555 Coin Diamonds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,236,765 per year while the poor average 1,781, a ratio of 694 to 1.

Orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step, tourists often cite 'hiding money in an off-shore banking account' as their main reason to visit the nation, a popular phrase is "eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we eat, drink and be merry some more", and wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Block Craft's national animal is the Chicken, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Hindu-Buddha.

Block Craft is ranked 322,382nd in the world and 10th in Indonesia Nusantara for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 12.64 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
