The Internationale Custodian of The Commune of la Guillotiere is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 3.95 billion Communists are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 57.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Commune of la Guillotierean economy, worth 62.1 trillion Labor Marks 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Furniture Restoration, Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. 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 15,709 Labor Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Commune of la Guillotiere's national animal is the butterfly.

The Commune of la Guillotiere is ranked 137,265^th in the world and 173^rd in The Internationale for Highest Economic Output, with 62.1 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
