The Republic of Absolute communism26 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its public floggings, triple-decker prams, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 6.153 billion Absolute communism26ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Absolute communism26ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,165 trillion guilders 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 an impressive 189,428 guilders, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.
Convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, the nation's best artists are considered pretty easy to beat, and high school boys are required to pass vigorous self-mastery and sensitivity training to graduate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Absolute communism26's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Absolute communism26 is ranked 19,769th in the world and 1,062nd in Balder for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 7,191.35 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
