The Emirate of Socialist test 138 is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.75 billion Socialist test 138ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 74.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Socialist test 138ian economy, worth 876 trillion Pesos 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. 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 184,443 Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Students cut up leftover Pesos during Arts and Crafts, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, and money can't buy happiness but it can buy immunity to prosecution. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socialist test 138's national animal is the Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Socialist test 138 is ranked 172,595th in the world and 7,124th in Balder for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 913.1 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
