The Federation of Socialist Test 500 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.513 billion Socialist Test 500ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 67.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Socialist Test 500ian economy, worth 809 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 179,411 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.
Criminals lock themselves in their mums' basements to avoid prison, cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes, the new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies, and elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socialist Test 500's national animal is the Black Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Socialist Test 500 is ranked 9,888th in the world and 649th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 101.32 law-abiding acts per hour.
