The Communist Blackacrean Ship of Violet November is a titanic, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 16.43 billion sailors 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, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blackacre City. The average income tax rate is 73.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Violet November economy, worth 396 trillion Blackacrean rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 24,130 Blackacrean rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Imitation is the sincerest form of felony, blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love, much of Violet November's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence, and party leaders rely on horoscopes to create "ticket balance". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Violet November's national animal is the fish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Violetism.

Violet November is ranked 84,334th in the world and 1,094th in The catholic military orders for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,442.99 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
