The Commonwealth of Absolute communism415 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, keen interest in outer space, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.16 billion Absolute communism415ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 60.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Absolute communism415ian economy, worth 657 trillion Latinums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 158,078 Latinums, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 642,232 per year while the poor average 25,865, a ratio of 24.8 to 1.

Politicians sweat as journalists scour internet archives for any mention of them, artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, and the government advises foreign diplomats to speak softly and carry a big bag of cash. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Absolute communism415's national animal is the Black Widow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Absolute communism415 is ranked 112,317th in the world and 1,914th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 354.68603688968 days.
