The Kingdom of Isle of Blackbird is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The quiet, industrious population of 1.423 billion Blackbirdians 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 Healthcare, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Riga. The average income tax rate is 67.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Isle of Blackbirdian economy, worth 46.9 trillion euros a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 32,946 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Religious education is a new government priority, the police crack down on tax evaders without mercy, power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, and hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Isle of Blackbird's national animal is the blackbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Isle of Blackbird is ranked 81,347th in the world and 4,357th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.34 law-abiding acts per hour.
