The Armed Republic of Comrade 280 is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 19.091 billion Comrade 280ians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Spirituality, although Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 70.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Comrade 280ian economy, worth 328 trillion Labormarks 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, broadly diversified black market in Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. 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 17,232 Labormarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Comrade 280's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Comrade 280 is ranked 100,615th in the world and 1st in Sinai for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.94 law-abiding acts per hour.
