The Free Soviets of Za Kakumei is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Alexandra Ritza Beaufort with a fair hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.595 billion Kakumeians 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, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grenden. The average income tax rate is 94.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Kakumeian economy, worth a remarkable 1,655 trillion resources 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 142,780 resources, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Mandatory electronic currency is a boon for credit card companies and government surveillance, arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated, public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers, and political spontaneity takes a lot of planning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Za Kakumei's national animal is the griffon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is the Cult of Reason.
Za Kakumei is ranked 287,095th in the world and 3rd in Boriopa for Most Primitive, scoring -505.3 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
