The Chuck Yeager Specter of Testing one two three is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, avowedly heterosexual populace, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 33.132 billion Testing one two threeans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beemans. The average income tax rate is 48.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Testing one two threean economy, worth a remarkable 3,462 trillion $$s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 104,512 $$s, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Demolition derbies mostly consist of bicycles crashing into each other, wood-framed catapults are ready to launch diseased corpses into besieged cities, a glyph of Leader is worth a thousand letters, and an endless multinational bureaucracy connects the Red Bloc. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Testing one two three's national animal is the ^-^, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Aubrey-Maturinism.

Testing one two three is ranked 47,221st in the world and 3rd in BLITZKRIEG for Most Developed, scoring 77.99 on the Human Development Index.
