The People's Republic of Socialist Test 287 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.556 billion Socialist Test 287ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 72.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Socialist Test 287ian economy, worth 878 trillion Deneroes a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 192,882 Deneroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Textbooks are exactly twice as heavy as they used to be, you can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health, passwords to nuclear codes must now contain upper and lower case characters, and guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socialist Test 287's national animal is the Black Widow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Socialist Test 287 is ranked 9,827^th in the world and 557^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 101.42 law-abiding acts per hour.
