The Community of Equability is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by John Plaseholder with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, anti-smoking policies, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.659 billion Equabilityians 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 Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Equabilityian economy, worth 270 trillion Stamps 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 162,817 Stamps, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Making up random numbers to name new asteroids is the bulk of astronomers' work, crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, the words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, and millions of Stamps have been thrown into a project to find the cure for Mad Meerkat Disease. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Equability's national animal is the Meerkat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Equability is ranked 20,668^th in the world and 124^th in The Communist Bloc for Highest Average Incomes, with 162,817.96 Standard Monetary Units.
