The Go Ahead Make my Day of Good old Communism is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 5.132 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

Good old Communism is ranked 79th in the region and 51,628th in the world for Best Weather.
