The Armed Republic of Modernist China is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 9.008 billion Modernist Chinans 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 77.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Modernist Chinan economy, worth 40.3 trillion Yuan-Marks 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 Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Soda Sales. Average income is 4,478 Yuan-Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Gambling is outlawed, euthanasia is illegal, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, and it is illegal to make racist remarks in public. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Modernist China's national animal is the White Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Modernist China is ranked 58,467^th in the world and 3,474^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.11 law-abiding acts per hour.
