The United Socialist States of 4D Donkeys is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 392 million 4D Donkeys are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish 4D Donkeysian economy, worth 9.70 trillion Mutual Social Aid Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Uranium Mining. Average income is 24,745 Mutual Social Aid Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, people find it hard to relate to soldiers because of the dehumanising masks they wear, the government has announced its plans to construct a giant weaponised robot-cat, and many marriages go virtually unconsummated. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 4D Donkeys's national animal is the Kimolos Donkey.

4D Donkeys is ranked 264,017^th in the world and 1,753^rd in The Communist Bloc for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -9.22 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
