The Armed Republic of The 40th Revolutionary Worker Council is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 22.679 billion 40th Revolutionary Worker Councilians 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 enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 67.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped 40th Revolutionary Worker Councilian economy, worth 584 trillion Labormarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 25,775 Labormarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The 40th Revolutionary Worker Council's national animal is the Python, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The 40th Revolutionary Worker Council is ranked 115,566^th in the world and 1^st in Reichsmarktplatz for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,596.53 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
