The People's Republic of Black Ops1 is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The quiet, industrious population of 36.966 billion Black Ops1ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 59.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Black Ops1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,843 trillion daggers a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 49,867 daggers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Televisions are often seized to pay for overdue television license fees, Leader spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders, fiscal policy hawks decry the sizable "panem et circenses" fund added to the public budget, and there's a literal nanny state for the legions of children taken by social services. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Black Ops1's national animal is the caribou, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Black Ops1 is ranked 64,051st in the world and 2nd in Alaska for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.02 law-abiding acts per hour.
