“Workers of the world, unite!”

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

The Socialist Federation of Councillor Republics is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chairwoman Harrington with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.064 billion Workers love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Concordia. The average income tax rate is 88.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Worker economy, worth a remarkable 1,335 trillion Labour Tokens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 110,713 Labour Tokens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A traveller who once stubbed a toe on an 'Air Brancaland' flight has been offered asylum, television executives are interested in turning Chairwoman Harrington's zany home life into a sitcom, passwords to nuclear codes must now contain upper and lower case characters, and cars are banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Councillor Republics's national animal is the Groundhog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Councillor Republics is ranked 283,438^th in the world and 268^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.6 kickbacks per hour.
