The Impending Communist Doom of Big Communism is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Mega Stalin with an iron fist, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, feral children, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.187 billion Commies 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leningrad. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.0%.

The powerhouse Communist economy, worth 702 trillion Marxes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 135,455 Marxes, with the richest citizens earning 9.0 times as much as the poorest.

Heavily-armed commandos play rock-paper-scissors over whether to execute criminals and foreign visitors, office microwaves are being replaced by firepits, colonies are told they'll get their sovereignty back when they finish supper, and an underground group of geologists hides new discoveries to protect them from being destroyed in the name of safety. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Big Communism's national animal is the Proletariat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Bolshevik Party.

Big Communism is ranked 323,442nd in the world and 18th in RealTacoMan Frontier for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -11.83 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
