The United States of Blackbuck is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Black number 492 with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The cynical population of 4.02 billion Blackbuckians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Healthcare, although Defense, Welfare, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of that big rock over there. The average income tax rate is 59.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Blackbuckian economy, worth 117 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 29,197 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Blackbuck has designated that big rock over there as its capital city, Black number 492 has just been declared ruler of Blackbuck in an international press conference, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, and polygamy is legal. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blackbuck's national animal is the Gemsbok, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is grass.

Blackbuck is ranked 121,213^th in the world and 273^rd in Concord for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 975.32 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
