The Always Happy People of Communist Winnipeg is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Joe Zuken with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 36.109 billion Communist Winnipegers enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Suffragette City. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Communist Winnipeger economy, worth a remarkable 5,740 trillion Zukens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 158,964 Zukens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly, the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training, and earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Communist Winnipeg's national animal is the red bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Communist Winnipeg is ranked 4,585^th in the world and 1^st in Manitoba for Lowest Crime Rates, with 118.61 law-abiding acts per hour.
