The Queercore Scene of A Black Haired Punk is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.654 billion Punks are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, with Defense, Education, and Industry also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 70.4%.
The Punk economy, worth 212 trillion Pins 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 large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. 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 45,640 Pins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
The endangered saltwater humpback Bat is only seen in captivity programs, pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects, Bambi has been banned, and literally voiceless people are unable to protest when food and water are denied to them. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. A Black Haired Punk's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
A Black Haired Punk is ranked 213,191st in the world and 7th in One Small Island for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -3.17 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
