Socialist Test 260

Population4.389 billion

CurrencyDenero
AnimalBlack Widow

The Commonwealth of Socialist Test 260 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.389 billion Socialist Test 260ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Socialist Test 260ian economy, worth 834 trillion Deneroes a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 190,071 Deneroes, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients, internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Socialist Test 260ian weed picker are way up, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, and small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socialist Test 260's national animal is the Black Widow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Socialist Test 260 is ranked 111,573rd in the world and 1,700th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 355.65527238048 days.
