The Bolshevik Leninists of XXVI JP Cannon Brigade is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 3.859 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass -- is mainly concerned with Social Welfare, although Education and Healthcare are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 40%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Uranium Mining.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. XXVI JP Cannon Brigade's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the SRBT Bucks.

XXVI JP Cannon Brigade is ranked 1st in Permanent Revolution and 23,841st in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 158 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
