The Mountains of Black Hawk is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Snowflake population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 20.685 billion Black Hawkians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Social Policy. The average income tax rate is 39.7%.

The Black Hawkian economy, worth 677 trillion Snows a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Retail. Average income is 32,762 Snows, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate. Black Hawk's national animal is the Snowflake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Black Hawk is ranked 148,196^th in the world and 1^st in Temple of Tombs for Most Corrupt Governments, with 3.24 kickbacks per hour.
