The Armed Republic of Socialist Test 448 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, ritual sacrifices, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.482 billion Socialist Test 448ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Socialist Test 448ian economy, worth 815 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 181,848 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.7 times as much as the poorest.

Faceless corporations are expected to assume parental responsibility over millions of teenagers, the recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, wedding bands come in pairs to form wedding manacles, and rumor has it that the government was paid off by the mob to allow casinos to reopen. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socialist Test 448's national animal is the Black Widow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Socialist Test 448 is ranked 30,495^th in the world and 2,037^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 82.42 law-abiding acts per hour.
