“The international working class, unite!”

The Classless Councils of Ustonia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 652 million enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cheburg. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, abortions are routinely performed in Ustonia's hospitals, voting is compulsory, and refugees from other nations are flocking to Ustonia's border. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is pervasive, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Ustonia's national animal is the Jersey Devil, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Abolished.

Ustonia is ranked 66th in the region and 51,756th in the world for Largest Publishing Industry.
