The Communist Coup of Blackacrean Navy is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 10.9 billion Blackacrean Navyians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 43.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but stagnant Blackacrean Navyian economy, worth 106 trillion Blackacrean rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 9,772 Blackacrean rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Organ donation is compulsory, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, and politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blackacrean Navy's national animal is the fish.
Blackacrean Navy is ranked 83,773rd in the world and 1,059th in Hispano Germanic Alliance for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,445.32 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
