The Grand Army of The Black Commander is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by the Field Commander with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 19.662 billion Invaders are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Invaderdom. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.1%.

The thriving Raiderist economy, worth a remarkable 1,873 trillion Gold Standards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 95,295 Gold Standards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 327,495 per year while the poor average 20,333, a ratio of 16.1 to 1.

Summer science camps are regularly raided by narcotics police, Black Wolf racing stadiums are open 24/7, universities are populated by the spawn of the upper classes, and commuter vessels have trouble staying afloat due to increased passengers. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Black Commander's national animal is the Black Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Invaderism.

The Black Commander is ranked 73,637th in the world and 64th in The Invaders for Most Authoritarian, with 1,280.94 milliStalins.
