The People's Republic of The Neo-Proletariat is a huge, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, ban on automobiles, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 383 million Proletarians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Neo-Proletariatian economy, worth 5.01 trillion Cortexian Marks 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 Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. Average income is 13,074 Cortexian Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile, a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, designer truncheons are the latest law enforcement fashion craze, and school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Neo-Proletariat's national animal is the Boobies, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
The Neo-Proletariat is ranked 244,801st in the world and 10,633rd in Lazarus for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -3.46 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
