The Republic of Red November is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Captain with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, smutty television, and exploding hoverboards. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 20.952 billion Red Novemberians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Red November. The average income tax rate is 95.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Red Novemberian economy, worth a remarkable 5,799 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 276,787 marks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,304,022 per year while the poor average 34,885, a ratio of 37.4 to 1.

Soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets, the nation is now proudly cholera-free, billions of marks are being poured into a space program, and the citizenship exam requires years of study to actually pass. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Red November's national animal is the crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is the Sea.

Red November is ranked 188,918^th in the world and 1^st in November for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 147.09 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
