The Republic of Absolute communism55 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, avowedly heterosexual populace, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.251 billion Absolute communism55ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 63.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Absolute communism55ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,145 trillion marks 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. 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 183,290 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Weird or unusual crimes merit cruel and unusual punishments, masterpieces by male artists are on display in the dumpsters behind the gallery, every workday begins with group therapy, and the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Absolute communism55's national animal is the porpoise, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Absolute communism55 is ranked 253,706th in the world and 9,402nd in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 7.38 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
