The Ministry of Information of the Communist Bloc is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Minister of Information with a fair hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.662 billion Comrades 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.

Average income is 71,128 words, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Information of the Communist Bloc's national animal is the article, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Egoism.
