The Republic of Commiepa is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Chairman Ether with a fair hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 8.33 billion Commies 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 medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Marxtopia. The average income tax rate is 82.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Commiepan economy, worth a remarkable 1,631 trillion Commiemarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 195,888 Commiemarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade, the "Dreadnowt" is the pride and joy of the Commiepan Navy, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, and royalist is the most offensive slur in the Commiepan language. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Commiepa's national animal is the Capitalist Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Commiepa is ranked 14,661^st in the world and 936^th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 94.55 law-abiding acts per hour.
