The Republic of Absolute communism97 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its smutty television, ban on automobiles, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.12 billion Absolute communism97ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 42.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Absolute communism97ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,135 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 185,519 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

All screens are equal but some are more equal than others, citizens are prohibited from raising their voice above thirty decibels in commercial districts, professional athletes juggle part-time jobs to avoid bankruptcy, and kiwis with strange deformities like three eyes and tentacles have been seen prancing through the countryside where industrial waste is dumped. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Absolute communism97's national animal is the kiwi, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Absolute communism97 is ranked 34,475^th in the world and 2,240^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 80.23 law-abiding acts per hour.
