The Republic of Blacklit is a massive, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning bison population. The hard-working population of 2.158 billion Blacklitians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 26.3%.

The Blacklitian economy, worth 79.7 trillion pesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 36,935 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blacklit's national animal is the bison.

Blacklit is ranked 229,953^rd in the world and 1^st in FOCUS for Highest Poor Incomes, with 18,559.42 Standard Monetary Units.
