The Oppressed Peoples of CSX-32 is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 1.204 billion CSX-32ians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 51.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped CSX-32ian economy, worth 33.2 trillion forints 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 a slick, highly efficient black market in Retail, Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 27,543 forints, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Marine biology students are shocked to discover that a whale is a mammal, the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, people who question what bunker construction has to do with economic reform tend to disappear, and nation-building is the new national pastime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CSX-32's national animal is the cobra, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

CSX-32 is ranked 326,086th in the world and 6th in Terra Pacifica for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -9.72 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
