The Dominion of Paganblood is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Dark with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, flagrant waste-dumping, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 46.405 billion Pagans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orion's Hall. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Paganbloodian economy, worth an astonishing 14,750 trillion Shields a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 317,863 Shields, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,389,336 per year while the poor average 12,124, a ratio of 197 to 1.

Pagans are regularly fired for looking at MyFace during their lunch breaks, virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade, signs saying "No Poor People or Weirdoes" are common outside shops and cafés, and money can't buy happiness but it can buy immunity to prosecution. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Paganblood's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Heathenism.

Paganblood is ranked 2,140th in the world and 3rd in Scandinavia for Most Corrupt Governments, with 339.13 kickbacks per hour.
