The People's Republic of Black Ops1 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, aversion to nipples, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 42.162 billion Black Ops1ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 68.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Black Ops1ian economy, worth a remarkable 4,012 trillion daggers 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 95,158 daggers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Riots have broken out as a water shortage threatens Black Ops1's stability, The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries, farmers in arid regions are puzzled with government directions to plant rice this year, and visiting the best Black Ops1ian restaurants requires keeping a visa on file. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Black Ops1's national animal is the caribou, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Black Ops1 is ranked 33,121st in the world and 2nd in Alaska for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,526.2 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
