The Republic of Blackrobe is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The city council with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 1.436 billion Sinodians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blackrobe. The average income tax rate is 21.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Blackrobean economy, worth 79.5 trillion Stamps a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,327 Stamps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Nothing in life is promised except death and government support, all mothers are allowed six months fully-paid maternity leave, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, and public shaming is the bedrock of Blackrobean society. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Blackrobe's national animal is the Red Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is christianity.

Blackrobe is ranked 148,363^rd in the world and 14^th in Fallout Genesis for Highest Average Incomes, with 55,327.59 Standard Monetary Units.
