Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The United Socialist States of Communist Eraser is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.029 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Social Welfare, although Education and Healthcare are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 53%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Book Publishing.

Voting is voluntary and the government is avowedly atheist. Crime is totally unknown. Communist Eraser's national animal is the Sickle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Hammer.

Communist Eraser is ranked 42nd in Eastern Europe and 59,612th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 0 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
