The Free Land of Autonomous collective is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 3.71 billion Autonomous collectiveans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 33.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Autonomous collectivean economy, worth 29.2 trillion Anarchies 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, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Tourism, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. 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 7,883 Anarchies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction, the masses are surrendering their civil liberties without complaint for the sake of shopping convenience, Leader has just been declared ruler of Autonomous collective in an international press conference, and Autonomous collective has designated Autonomous collective City as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Autonomous collective's national animal is the Collective.

Autonomous collective is ranked 231,466^th in the world and 1^st in Monty Python for Nicest Citizens, with 11.33 average smiles per day.
