The Colony of Absolute Communism109 is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its closed borders, public floggings, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.424 billion Absolute Communism109ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Absolute Communism109ian economy, worth 667 trillion Latinums a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 150,925 Latinums, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

Every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, people boast about their low income on their dating profiles, and endangered species are effective hostages against the Absolute Communism109ian military. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Absolute Communism109's national animal is the Zebra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Absolute Communism109 is ranked 112,034th in the world and 1,812th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 354.73016880588 days.
