The Eternal People's Republic of Gulagistan Commune is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Akratul Basznak with an iron fist, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.267 billion Comrades are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized morass — prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Environment, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capitalist Gulag. The average income tax rate is 86.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Gulagistan Communean economy, worth 712 trillion lefts 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 slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. 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 63,230 lefts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nanny industry has had a boom after maternity leave was recently banned, the newest generation of Comrades are nearly clone-like in appearance, short is not always sweet, and government expenses are beyond compare. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gulagistan Commune's national animal is the worker, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gulagistan Commune is ranked 301,047th in the world and 201st in Alliance of Non Regional Nation for Smartest Citizens, with 16.74 quips per hour.
