The Community of Comrades and communities is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its fear of technology, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 204 million Comrades and communitiesians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 71.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Comrades and communitiesian economy, worth 6.77 trillion coms 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 dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 33,177 coms, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, meetings are often scheduled for "about four-ish" following complete conversion to sundials, the latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar, and "What's the Frequency, Leader?" is a favorite phrase of backyard radio broadcasters when interrupting official diplomatic channels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Comrades and communities's national animal is the leg, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Comrades and communities is ranked 146,820^th in the world and 713^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 497.26 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
