“Things fall apart”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Principality of Absolute Communism501 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, compulsory gun ownership, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.596 billion Absolute Communism501ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 40.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Absolute Communism501ian economy, worth 766 trillion Yen 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, 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 166,684 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

The nation has nearly as many history museums as Absolute Communism501ians, the Holy Office of the Inquisition is the highest court in the land, obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals, and barbed wire entanglements and guard towers surround the Absolute Communism501 City Natural History Museum. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Absolute Communism501's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Absolute Communism501 is ranked 316,194^th in the world and 14,727^th in Lazarus for Nicest Citizens, with 0.67 average smiles per day.
