The Armed Republic of Comrade 274 is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 19.425 billion Comrade 274ians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 22.8%.

The Comrade 274ian economy, worth 809 trillion Labormarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. Average income is 41,653 Labormarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Comrade 274's national animal is the Wolf.

Comrade 274 is ranked 166,785^th in the world and 4,315^th in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 59.56 law-abiding acts per hour.
