The Commonwealth of Black Spears is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Council of Babylon with a fair hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, national health service, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.609 billion Spearsians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arcadia. The average income tax rate is 86.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Black Spearsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,745 trillion Commonwealth Standards a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 202,785 Commonwealth Standards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
