The Dictatorship of Commiepolis is a large, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 166 million Commies are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 73.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Red economy, worth 8.48 trillion Marxes 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 dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 51,094 Marxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, sheepish teenagers are making eye contact with their parents for the first time in a decade during state-enforced 'no-phones hour', major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, and foreign casinos have trouble paying fans who bet on the triumph of the Commiepolis City Sam Altmen against long odds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Commiepolis's national animal is the Sam Altman, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Commiepolis is ranked 293,635^th in the world and 660^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Populations, with 166 million capita.
