The Federation of the Communes of The Revolutionaries is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Council For Common Welfare of Communes with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.726 billion Revolutionaries love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 85.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The very strong Revolutionary economy, worth 319 trillion Hammanas a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 67,670 Hammanas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
It is not politically correct to suspect that a serially convicted burglar might steal again, the government supplies ragtag bands of resistance fighters in exchange for vague promises of future payment, postmen have been arrested in job lots for selling junk mail as home insulation, and strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Revolutionaries's national animal is the Osprey, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
The Revolutionaries is ranked 36,478th in the world and 2,436th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 79.25 law-abiding acts per hour.
