The People's Republic of Black Ops1 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its parental licensing program, compulsory vegetarianism, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 42.233 billion Black Ops1ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 68.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Black Ops1ian economy, worth a remarkable 4,101 trillion daggers 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 Information Technology, Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. 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 97,106 daggers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is known abroad for fast food and nothing else, cremation is compulsory for the deceased, the steaks are too high for ambassadors to butcher foreign relationships, and census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Black Ops1's national animal is the caribou, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Black Ops1 is ranked 286,520th in the world and 5th in Alaska for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -9.14 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
