The Jingoistic States of Socialist test 398 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.572 billion Socialist test 398ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich.

Average income is an impressive 176,326 Platinums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socialist test 398's national animal is the Vulture, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
