Absolute Communism505

The Dictatorship of Absolute Communism505 is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and ritual sacrifices. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.945 billion Absolute Communism505ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 71.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Absolute Communism505ian economy, worth 474 trillion Yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 161,259 Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Former polygamists always seem to have a huge number of visiting cousins, father-son fishing trips have been banned, a suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Absolute Communism505ian politicians, and extreme hiring regulations mean a job in Absolute Communism505 is often a lifetime appointment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Absolute Communism505's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Absolute Communism505 is ranked 34,145th in the world and 2,018th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 52.69 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
