The Atmosphere Connoisseur of Black Raven Movement is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by High Immortalist Priest Apis with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, unlimited-speed roads, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.231 billion Europeans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kyiv. The average income tax rate is 38.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The European economy, worth 132 trillion hyskriyas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,225 hyskriyas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Heirs who take too long in the bathroom are declared missing and presumed dead, weapons produced by newly nationalized armaments factories have been found to contain sawdust instead of gunpowder, the colors pink and purple are banned from military unit insignia, and the sound of office water cooler chatter has been replaced by the whirring of computer cooling fans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Black Raven Movement's national animal is the black raven, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Særist Perunism.

Black Raven Movement is ranked 258,481^st in the world and 1^st in A hellhole for Most Beautiful Environments, with 17.7 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
