The Republic of Absolute communism37 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, keen interest in outer space, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 6.145 billion Absolute communism37ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 80.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Absolute communism37ian economy, worth 953 trillion kronor 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 large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Basket Weaving, 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 155,099 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
Roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, crocodile roadkill is smeared across the asphalt of the new Formula One track, citizens must have a license to operate a computer, and politicians sweat as journalists scour internet archives for any mention of them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Absolute communism37's national animal is the unicorn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Absolute communism37 is ranked 281,458th in the world and 10,769th in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -11.1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
