The Culture of Free Socialism is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by a loose-knit group of concerned Minds with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, otherworldly petting zoo, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 41.661 billion Culture citizens 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 large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Social Policy, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Free Socialism Orbital. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Culture economy, worth an astonishing 24,421 trillion resources a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing.
