The Community of Equability is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by John Plaseholder with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, smutty television, and vat-grown people. The compassionate population of 1.772 billion Equabilityians 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 Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Utopia. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Equabilityian economy, worth 294 trillion Stamps 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 166,193 Stamps, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is stuck in permanent election mode as politicians demand constant do-overs, a new "thought police" branch is being developed, anti-environmentalist dissidents must beware of government plants in their midst, and schoolyard bullying has a tendency to escalate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Equability's national animal is the Meerkat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Equability is ranked 5,156^th in the world and 126^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 8,209 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
