The Armed Republic of Comrade 205 is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The quiet, industrious population of 20.85 billion Comrade 205ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 33.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Comrade 205ian economy, worth 850 trillion Labormarks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,787 Labormarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Comrade 205's national animal is the Wolf.

Comrade 205 is ranked 122,647^th in the world and 1^st in Sea of Aland for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 76.49 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
