The Empire of Blackerism is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Blacker XI with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, national health service, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed population of 2.872 billion Blackeris are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blacker city. The average income tax rate is 47.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Blackerismian economy, worth 529 trillion blackers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 184,323 blackers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's a jungle out there, in-cite-ment never happens at tea parties, stocks go up when the internet says so, and the nation's space program is doxxing the planet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blackerism's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Blackerism is ranked 7,962^nd in the world and 378^th in Balder for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 465.28 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
