The Dictatorship of Commiepolis is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 136 million Commies 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 enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 72.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Red economy, worth 6.90 trillion Marxes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 50,765 Marxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Therapists dispense hugs for heroin dealers and cuddles for crackheads, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, international terrorists often get their weapons supply in Commiepolis, and the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Commiepolis's national animal is the Sam Altman, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Commiepolis is ranked 297,291^st in the world and 629^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -11.33 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
