The Philosophical Geniuses of K Marx and F Engels is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.836 billion are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is effectively ruled by the Department of Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 56%, 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 Soda Sales.

K Marx and F Engels's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, and mothers are routinely abandoning their children in the name of women's rights. Crime is totally unknown. K Marx and F Engels's national animal is the All Animals, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Non-Existent.

K Marx and F Engels is ranked 2nd in Marxism and 5,475th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 36 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
