The Empire of BlackWatch Special Forces is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.238 billion BlackWatch Special Forcesians 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, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Hope. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant BlackWatch Special Forcesian economy, worth 94.4 trillion Classifieds 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. 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 15,130 Classifieds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-government demagogues have a devil of a time evading authorities, anti-tourism militias patrol the borders, unwary hikers climbing the bluffs of Mount Fort Hope make great practice for foreign snipers, and all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Fort Hope. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BlackWatch Special Forces's national animal is the Classified, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

BlackWatch Special Forces is ranked 170,557^th in the world and 3^rd in Lezra for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 251.3 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
