The Democratic Republic of South Comradia is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Comrade Commissar with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 9.924 billion Comrades are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gulagslavia. The average income tax rate is 91.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient South Comradian economy, worth a remarkable 1,525 trillion potatoes a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 153,687 potatoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fruit market traders let their stock spoil rather than reduce their prices at the day's end, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, rumour has it Comrade Commissar needs a calculator to multiply ten by ten, and every diamond ring sold is accompanied by a twenty-five page analysis and a waiver. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Comradia's national animal is the comrade bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

South Comradia is ranked 40,484^th in the world and 146^th in 10000 Islands for Most Corrupt Governments, with 53.13 kickbacks per hour.
