The Last Soviet Republic of 42forever is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Dragon king Sorra Miyagi with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 13.486 billion 42foreverians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City 42. The average income tax rate is 93.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient 42foreverian economy, worth a remarkable 2,510 trillion doller bills a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 186,184 doller bills, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Loss of the ability to speak is a common affliction of the elderly, apprentice builders get teased for wearing hard hats, requests to "pass the salt" are supported by tank divisions, and rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 42forever's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Comunisum.

42forever is ranked 17,749^th in the world and 1^st in The Remnant of Alkmon for Lowest Crime Rates, with 91.61 law-abiding acts per hour.
