The Armed Republic of The 45th Revolutionary Worker Council is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 21.174 billion 45th Revolutionary Worker Councilians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 73.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish 45th Revolutionary Worker Councilian economy, worth 415 trillion Labormarks 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 a slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese 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 19,602 Labormarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The 45th Revolutionary Worker Council's national animal is the Python, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The 45th Revolutionary Worker Council is ranked 89,811^th in the world and 1^st in Finnmark for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.21 law-abiding acts per hour.
