The Principality of New Blackhaven is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Sasha Tieron with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 16.179 billion New Blackhavenians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Blackhaven. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.2%.

The frighteningly efficient New Blackhavenian economy, worth a remarkable 2,486 trillion Fleurs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 153,705 Fleurs, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

The masses are surrendering their civil liberties without complaint for the sake of shopping convenience, the nation's "surprisingly chill" military is renowned for its horrendous war crimes, endocrinology is a rapidly growing field of study, and viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. New Blackhaven's national animal is the Raven, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

New Blackhaven is ranked 224,670^th in the world and 255^th in The Amaranthine Isles for Safest, scoring 24.33 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
