The Democratic States of Socialist Test 419 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.435 billion Socialist Test 419ians 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, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 70.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Socialist Test 419ian economy, worth 783 trillion Deneroes 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. 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 impressive 176,725 Deneroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The silencing of dissent speaks volumes about the quality of Socialist Test 419ian democracy, parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, builders across Socialist Test 419 are blocked up with orders for new public loos, and a fashion designer has been arrested for inciting hatred after claiming redheads couldn't pull off vermillion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socialist Test 419's national animal is the Black Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Socialist Test 419 is ranked 111,934th in the world and 2,166th in the Rejected Realms for Most Stationary, with 354.79357848752 days.
