The Free Land of Absolute communism151 is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its daily referendums, digital currency, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.554 billion Absolute communism151ians 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, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 56.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Absolute communism151ian economy, worth 769 trillion Pesos a year, is fairly diversified and 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 168,984 Pesos, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 685,153 per year while the poor average 27,743, a ratio of 24.7 to 1.

Interviewees for teaching jobs are waterboarded to "reveal undesirable histories", parents who reward their teens' chores with concert tickets are charged with illegal reselling, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, and the sick and dying are locked in their homes with a red "X" painted on the front door. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Absolute communism151's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Absolute communism151 is ranked 25,988th in the world and 1,759th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 85.25 law-abiding acts per hour.
