Socialist Test 286

Population4.438 billion

CurrencyDenero
AnimalBlack Widow

The Democratic States of Socialist Test 286 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.438 billion Socialist Test 286ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 51.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Socialist Test 286ian economy, worth 783 trillion Deneroes a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 176,601 Deneroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Many in Socialist Test 286 are born in the purple, vets have been drafted in to help "fix" those who fail the parental license exam, urban entrepreneurs are busy introducing cockroaches into restaurant kitchens, and standing on one leg in public is a criminal offence. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socialist Test 286's national animal is the Black Widow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Socialist Test 286 is ranked 111,594th in the world and 1,706th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 355.652376549 days.
