The Republic of Black Saw is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 8.446 billion Black Sawians 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 large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 47.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Black Sawian economy, worth 81.1 trillion rupees 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, fairly diversified black market in Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 9,597 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced, one does not simply walk into the tundra, golden statues of porpoises line the memorial avenues of the Funerary District, and a major religion has been named as Black Saw's national religion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Black Saw's national animal is the porpoise.

Black Saw is ranked 118,961^st in the world and 3^rd in Furby Island Puppets for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 128.96 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
