The Rogue Nation of Absolute communism494 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.272 billion Absolute communism494ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Absolute communism494ian economy, worth 782 trillion Shiny Green Things a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 183,215 Shiny Green Things, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 589,285 per year while the poor average 43,145, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.

Children have nightmares about the eerie red glow and constant whirring of newly-installed machines, primary candidates are replaced if they fail to compliment Leader's hair, the sun now sets on the Absolute communism494ian Empire, and the silencing of dissent speaks volumes about the quality of Absolute communism494ian democracy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Absolute communism494's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Absolute communism494 is ranked 266,012th in the world and 9,442nd in Lazarus for Nicest Citizens, with 0.68 average smiles per day.
