The Commonwealth of Blacktree is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 789 million New Zealanders are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Auckland. The average income tax rate is 29.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Blacktreean economy, worth 108 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 137,603 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Hit TV show 'The eXecution Factor' is a critical success, children who can't memorize their multiplication tables are sent to the mines, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, and an enormous health awareness programme is underway. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blacktree's national animal is the Kiwi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Blacktree is ranked 6,524^th in the world and 27^th in The League of Conservative Nations for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 97,561.06 Standard Monetary Units.
