The Rogue Nation of Absolute communism494 is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its parental licensing program, state-planned economy, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.169 billion Absolute communism494ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Absolute communism494ian economy, worth 768 trillion Shiny Green Things 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. 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 impressive 184,316 Shiny Green Things, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 590,930 per year while the poor average 43,608, a ratio of 13.6 to 1.

The nation's politicians are acknowledged as the most polite in the region to the dismay of comedians everywhere, councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters, the new airport at Mr. Giles' farm is panicking his sheep, and children are terrified that the 'flying police monster' will come to take them away in the night. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Absolute communism494's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Absolute communism494 is ranked 112,364th in the world and 1,933rd in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 354.67086328828 days.
