The People's Republic of Socialist Test 429 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, state-planned economy, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.423 billion Socialist Test 429ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 43.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Socialist Test 429ian economy, worth 738 trillion Deneroes 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 167,068 Deneroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The immigration office has an express line for people bringing cash in briefcases, diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm, a fashion designer has been arrested for inciting hatred after claiming redheads couldn't pull off vermillion, and looting and pillaging are now considered vital intelligence-gathering activities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socialist Test 429's national animal is the Black Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Socialist Test 429 is ranked 111,771st in the world and 1,754th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 355.6343904494 days.
