The Kingdom of Absolute communism378 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.415 billion Absolute communism378ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 38.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Absolute communism378ian economy, worth 646 trillion Euros 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, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 146,322 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.
Gun ownership is compulsory, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental, and scientists are researching the best way to kill off humanity to prevent catastrophic war. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Absolute communism378's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
