The Kingdom of Black Sabbath is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Ozzy with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and astonishingly minimal parenting. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.437 billion Black Sabbathians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sabbat. The average income tax rate is 79.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Black Sabbathian economy, worth 802 trillion Songs a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 95,075 Songs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens, the threat of economic apocalypse brings out the best in people, the education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence, and religious dissidents are heartless and cold-blooded. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Black Sabbath's national animal is the Bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Black Sabbath is ranked 52,728th in the world and 1st in Black Sabbath for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,881.38 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
