The Rogue Nation of Socialist test 218 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.676 billion Socialist test 218ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Socialist test 218ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,058 trillion Latinums 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. 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 amazing 226,286 Latinums, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 642,372 per year while the poor average 63,670, a ratio of 10.1 to 1.
Frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, Leader's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, and newspapers may not print any negative stories about the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socialist test 218's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Socialist test 218 is ranked 14,494th in the world and 922nd in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 94.74 law-abiding acts per hour.
