The United Socialist States of 4D Donkeys is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 344 million 4D Donkeys 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, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant 4D Donkeysian economy, worth 5.37 trillion Mutual Social Aid Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining and Information Technology. Average income is 15,612 Mutual Social Aid Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, the government puts forth the claim that harming young girls is wrong, children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, and 4D Donkeys recently decided against having a capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 4D Donkeys's national animal is the Kimolos Donkey.

4D Donkeys is ranked 124,187^th in the world and 1,106^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 68.77 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
