The Pick Noobs Clean of Black Vulture is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Captain Bones with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, daily referendums, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 22.237 billion Black Vultureans 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Boot Hill. The average income tax rate is 51.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Black Vulturean economy, worth a remarkable 4,487 trillion Gold Carrions a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 201,794 Gold Carrions, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Black Vultureans suffer not the eggplant emoji to live, Members of Parliament are often found living in cardboard boxes, patriotic citizens chant "there's only one Black Vulture" at foreigners, and typing Captain Bones's name into a search engine always gives zero matches. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Black Vulture's national animal is the Vulture, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Thermalism.

Black Vulture is ranked 14,184th in the world and 201st in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 95.08 law-abiding acts per hour.
