The Jingoistic States of Black Saturday is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 10.321 billion Black Saturdayians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Welfare, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.2%.

The strong Black Saturdayian economy, worth 438 trillion florins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 42,495 florins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 273,886 per year while the poor average 2,663, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Surveillance cameras are banned, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and intellectual snobbery has the cognoscenti sneering at anyone who doesn't have an opinion on the semiological drift of Umberto Eco's works. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Black Saturday's national animal is the turtle, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Black Saturday is ranked 146,760th in the world and 5th in Austria and Hungary for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,730.19 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
