The Republic of Socialist test 28 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, ubiquitous missile silos, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.583 billion Socialist test 28ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Socialist test 28ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,198 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 214,585 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 900,988 per year while the poor average 33,213, a ratio of 27.1 to 1.
Videogames like 'Equalia: Knights of Self-Confidence' are proving inexplicably unpopular, foreign countries consider stepping on their grass to be a serious offense, a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows, and teachers prefer to give 'Maybe, Maybe Not' tests when dealing with sensitive subjects. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socialist test 28's national animal is the turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
Socialist test 28 is ranked 20,587th in the world and 1,482nd in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 89.26 law-abiding acts per hour.
