The Pick Noobs Clean of Black Vulture is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Captain Bones with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, pith helmet sales, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 22.237 billion Black Vultureans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Boot Hill. The average income tax rate is 51.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Black Vulturean economy, worth a remarkable 4,509 trillion Gold Carrions a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 202,772 Gold Carrions, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.
Insanely good theatre productions face government censorship, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, weighted heels are added to military boots to ensure diminutive celebrities meet minimum requirements, and politicians are battling inequality by declaring themselves better than everyone else. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Black Vulture's national animal is the Vulture, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Thermalism.
Black Vulture is ranked 14,119th in the world and 197th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 95.24 law-abiding acts per hour.
