The Armed Republic of Comrade 013 is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 20.844 billion Comrade 013ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Healthcare, Education, and Spirituality also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 66.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but underdeveloped Comrade 013ian economy, worth 556 trillion Labormarks 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 led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Average income is 26,717 Labormarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Comrade 013's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Comrade 013 is ranked 159,002nd in the world and 1st in Tea Party Patriots for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 62.05 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
