The Jingoistic States of Socialist Test 477 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its smutty television, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.669 billion Socialist Test 477ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Socialist Test 477ian economy, worth 913 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 195,554 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.6 times as much as the poorest.
Homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways, pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, and the sick and dying are locked in their homes with a red "X" painted on the front door. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socialist Test 477's national animal is the Black Widow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Socialist Test 477 is ranked 255,615th in the world and 9,348th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 16.29 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
