Socialist Test 447

The People's Republic of Socialist Test 447 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, ritual sacrifices, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.613 billion Socialist Test 447ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 70.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Socialist Test 447ian economy, worth 878 trillion Dollars 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 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 an impressive 190,472 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, sexually-starved male dinosaurs terrorise tourists during weekly breakouts from Mesozoic Park, roosters that herald the rising sun are immediately sent to the slaughterhouse, and the Communist Party claims that selling things for profit isn't necessarily capitalism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socialist Test 447's national animal is the Black Widow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Socialist Test 447 is ranked 69,503rd in the world and 3,587th in Balder for Most Beautiful Environments, with 615.71 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
