The United Socialist States of COMMIEPLACE is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mighty Respected Comrade Joseph Stalin with a fair hand, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.063 billion Socialists love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Maoist economy, worth 22.4 trillion Revolutions a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 21,066 Revolutions, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All writing must pass a censorship board before being allowed on the shelves, dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, the government runs a surplus by selling its citizens, and blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. COMMIEPLACE's national animal is the Scientific Socialist, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Marxism-Leninism-Maoism.

COMMIEPLACE is ranked 245,083^rd in the world and 407^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Populations, with 1.06 billion capita.
