The People's Republic of Socialist Test 429 is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its parental licensing program, avowedly heterosexual populace, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.64 billion Socialist Test 429ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 47.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Socialist Test 429ian economy, worth 803 trillion Deneroes 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 173,244 Deneroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The sick and dying are locked in their homes with a red "X" painted on the front door, tombstones are ten feet high to accommodate the names of inhabitants, asking 'a penny for your thoughts?' draws law enforcement response, and shady doctors seem to have impeccable records. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socialist Test 429's national animal is the Black Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Socialist Test 429 is ranked 30,743^rd in the world and 1,826^th in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,590.42 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
