The Grand Duchy of Socialist test 393 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, prohibition of alcohol, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.431 billion Socialist test 393ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Socialist test 393ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,018 trillion Platinums 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, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 229,819 Platinums, with the richest citizens earning 9.2 times as much as the poorest.
Socialist test 393's first free elections in recent memory have been successfully concluded, thousands of children die every day from easily curable illnesses, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, and the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socialist test 393's national animal is the Vulture, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
