The Empire of The Black Diamond is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 186 million Black Diamondians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The tiny, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 9.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Black Diamondian economy, worth 8.98 trillion Vins a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Information Technology. Average income is 48,302 Vins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
Genetic researchers have been expelled, park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, and pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Black Diamond's national animal is the Long Eared Owl, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.
The Black Diamond is ranked 178,060th in the world and 560th in Carcassonne for Safest, scoring 55.69 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
