The Solidarity Movement of Attempted Socialism is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Chairperson Marcie Elizabeth Illum with a fair hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 19.141 billion Socialists 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 enormous, liberal government is primarily concerned with Education, although Healthcare, Environment, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karlmarxhof. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Socialist economy, worth a remarkable 4,902 trillion work-hour equivalents 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 and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 256,138 work-hour equivalents, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

High school boys are required to pass vigorous self-mastery and sensitivity training to graduate, citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections, posters on 'Socialist Values' advise against being proud of Attempted Socialism, and it is believed that belligerence is a passing phase foreign leaders will soon outgrow. Crime is totally unknown. Attempted Socialism's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Attempted Socialism is ranked 289,875^th in the world and 6,340^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -29.87 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
