The Jewish State of Chernaya Zvezda is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.536 billion Chernaya Zvezdans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jerusalem. The average income tax rate is 68.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Chernaya Zvezdan economy, worth 417 trillion Kesefs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 63,803 Kesefs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pharmacists increasingly claim they are morally obligated to take long lunches, it ain't easy to be green enough to be imported into Chernaya Zvezda, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, and a cat may look at a king and a dude can look at an ass. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chernaya Zvezda's national animal is the Eurasian griffon vulture, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Chernaya Zvezda is ranked 27,485^th in the world and 555^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 6,734.69 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
