The Republic of Blackmarche is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 6.321 billion Blackmarcheans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Industry, although Defense, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Blackmarchean economy, worth a remarkable 2,836 trillion currencies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 448,783 currencies, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,072,439 per year while the poor average 5,748, a ratio of 708 to 1.

Large-girthed charity workers assign themselves healthy wages for their work with starving children, the local custom of Biking With The Cars sends tourists home bemused or in body-bags, the government has to take out its Visa to eliminate visas, and the world still seems flat to some people in space. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Blackmarche's national animal is the animal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Blackmarche is ranked 184,935th in the world and 60th in Vickenian experiment incubator for Most Stationary, with 71.22153775152 days.
