The Democratic Republic of South Comradia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Comrade Commissar with an iron fist, and notable for its digital currency, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical population of 5.888 billion Comrades are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gulagslavia. The average income tax rate is 85.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient South Comradian economy, worth 918 trillion potatoes a year, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 155,965 potatoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Suppression of pro-democracy protests is a daily occurrence, government agents scour baking periodicals for subversive recipes, the government's approval ratings go down while its turnover rate goes up, and many in South Comradia are born in the purple. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable 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 2,653^rd in the world and 56^th in 10000 Islands for Healthiest Citizens, with 25.31 bananas ingested per day.
