The Incorporated Republic of BlackandGold is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Board of Directors with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, prohibition of alcohol, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 43.25 billion Vinlandians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Whitefall. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient BlackandGoldian economy, worth an astonishing 14,126 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 326,624 Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,689,523 per year while the poor average 34,305, a ratio of 49.2 to 1.
It's not only teenagers who mess around with fake IDs, a spy for a spy makes the whole world less radioactive, the nation is relieved that all of the recent madness has finally come to an end, and carefully-staged grief is displayed by The Board of Directors after national disasters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. BlackandGold's national animal is the Tasmanian devil, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
BlackandGold is ranked 2,526th in the world and 10th in Yggdrasil for Lowest Crime Rates, with 136.33 law-abiding acts per hour.
