The Borderlands of Absolute communism258 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.394 billion Absolute communism258ians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 28.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Absolute communism258ian economy, worth 612 trillion Yen 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. 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 an impressive 139,371 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Edgy teens know that illegal discos are where the cool cats hang, auditors are gutting every governmental department, schoolchildren are divided over Leader's "Why Tigers are Cooler than Lions" speech, and the government tells its citizens to 'forgive and forget'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Absolute communism258's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Absolute communism258 is ranked 33,570th in the world and 2,008th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 54.41 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
