The Dictatorship of Socialist Test 279 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.683 billion Socialist Test 279ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 57.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Socialist Test 279ian economy, worth 969 trillion Deneroes 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, 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 amazing 207,084 Deneroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The national census includes an opt-in to join the government-run dating service, understaffed slavers offer highballs when asked to 'pass the screwdriver' during household maintenance, the urinary fragrance of seedier establishments is thankfully hidden by the smell of stale smoke, and women who can do math in their head are burned for witchcraft. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socialist Test 279's national animal is the Black Widow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Socialist Test 279 is ranked 18,781^st in the world and 1,117^th in Osiris for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 290.2 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
