The Holy Empire of The Bloodsoaked Keep is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 10.981 billion ogres are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 27.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Bloodsoaked Keepian economy, worth 261 trillion rituals a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 23,776 rituals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, the military perceives nations hit by natural disasters as "easy pickings", and motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Bloodsoaked Keep's national animal is the sacrifice.

The Bloodsoaked Keep is ranked 170,471^st in the world and 57^th in Shinka for Lowest Crime Rates, with 59.26 law-abiding acts per hour.
