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

The Mass Line of Comradeland is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Central Committee with an even hand, and remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, daily referendums, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, cheerful population of 23.09 billion Comradelandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Social Policy, Welfare, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vorkuta. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Comradelandian economy, worth a remarkable 5,388 trillion Labor-Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is an amazing 233,361 Labor-Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Over-inflated fears of a "Y1" bug have turned humble IT workers into millionaires (Comradeland has found 4 easter eggs), trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, the realistic depiction of tentacles is on the core syllabus of most art schools, and nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Comradeland's national animal is the Otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Comradeland is ranked 1,015^th in the world and 3^rd in North Korea for Lowest Crime Rates, with 170.63 law-abiding acts per hour.
