The Commandante of Fidel is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 15.905 billion Cubans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, with Education and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 48.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Cuban economy, worth 313 trillion Pesos 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, 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 19,700 Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children fear compulsory visits to their spiritual advisors more than the dentist, the studies of art and philosophy are banned, the government's suicide hotline now redirects callers to local tax lawyers, and most of the military's funding goes into researching space-age weaponry. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Fidel's national animal is the Aguila, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Fidel is ranked 174,275^th in the world and 7,995^th in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 401.51 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
