The Solidarity Movement of Attempted Socialism is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Chairperson Marcie Elizabeth Illum with a fair hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, soft-spoken computers, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 20.363 billion Socialists 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 government is primarily concerned with Education, with Healthcare, Environment, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karlmarxhof. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Socialist economy, worth a remarkable 5,534 trillion work-hour equivalents 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 271,812 work-hour equivalents, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The comic book series 'Chairperson Marcie Elizabeth Illum and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, the Party has more splits than a yo-yo dieter's trousers, and an endless multinational bureaucracy connects the Red Bloc. Crime is totally unknown. Attempted Socialism's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Attempted Socialism is ranked 4,302^nd in the world and 143^rd in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 271,812.53 Standard Monetary Units.
