The Armed Republic of The 29th Revolutionary Worker Council is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 21.184 billion 29th Revolutionary Worker Councilians 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, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant 29th Revolutionary Worker Councilian economy, worth 354 trillion Labormarks 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 slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Furniture Restoration, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 16,731 Labormarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The 29th Revolutionary Worker Council's national animal is the Scorpion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The 29th Revolutionary Worker Council is ranked 182,395^th in the world and 1^st in The Glorious Communistical Alliance for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring zero on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
