The Republic of Imitation Socialism is a very large, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 428 million Quasisocialists enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mamdanigrad. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Quasisocialist economy, worth 7.88 trillion common kroner 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 18,415 common kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Quasisocialist novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Leader, heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-common krone treacle machine, making up random numbers to name new asteroids is the bulk of astronomers' work, and national parks have long lines of different gender-specific 'Porta-Pottys'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imitation Socialism's national animal is the Hotwheels sisyphus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Imitation Socialism is ranked 196,341^st in the world and 1,108^th in the Outback for Fattest Citizens, with 9.41 Obesity Rate.
