The Armed Republic of The 33rd Revolutionary Worker Council is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 21.129 billion 33rd Revolutionary Worker Councilians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish 33rd Revolutionary Worker Councilian economy, worth 506 trillion Labormarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is 23,964 Labormarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The 33rd Revolutionary Worker Council's national animal is the Scorpion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The 33rd Revolutionary Worker Council is ranked 94,418^th in the world and 1^st in Upper Silesia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.58 law-abiding acts per hour.
