The Great Latin Empire of The Black Organization is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Fernando Valverde VI with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.931 billion Italians 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 juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Holy Vatican City. The average income tax rate is 39.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Black Organization economy, worth 737 trillion Black Crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 149,652 Black Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Couch potatoes are considered to be model citizens, religious bigotry and a fear of outsiders have replaced religious studies in schools, you can't make an omelet without breaking a few legs, and parking's carefree without parking car fees. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Black Organization's national animal is the Black Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Black Catholicism.

The Black Organization is ranked 279,114^th in the world and 7^th in The Multiversal Tavern for Most Primitive, scoring -315.33 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
