Socialist Test 421

The Colony of Socialist Test 421 is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, ban on automobiles, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.587 billion Socialist Test 421ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 56.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Socialist Test 421ian economy, worth 809 trillion Deneroes a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 176,495 Deneroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, surveillance cameras are banned, street crime is on the rise as police officers spend most of their time in prisons, and chicken farmers must rise before the sun every day to gag their cockerels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socialist Test 421's national animal is the Black Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Socialist Test 421 is ranked 9,666th in the world and 254th in the Rejected Realms for Most Corrupt Governments, with 158.27 kickbacks per hour.
