The Commonwealth of NPO Supercomputer 08 is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its triple-decker prams, fear of technology, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 7.887 billion CPUS are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of www. The average income tax rate is 50.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong CPU economy, worth 529 trillion bytes 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, Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. 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 67,132 bytes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
Kids refer to anything below the neck as "the parts that shall not be named", posters of politicians in sensual poses can be found on the walls of teenagers' rooms, state officials tend to disappear after they forget to salute Leader's portrait, and fistfighting vigilantes tend to suffer a lot of gunshot wounds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NPO Supercomputer 08's national animal is the Process, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
NPO Supercomputer 08 is ranked 90,538th in the world and 48th in Bytes for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.11 law-abiding acts per hour.
