The Democratic Republic of Socialist Test 445 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its soft-spoken computers, parental licensing program, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.471 billion Socialist Test 445ians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Socialist Test 445ian economy, worth 774 trillion Dollars 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, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. 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 173,147 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, barbed wire entanglements and guard towers surround the Socialist Test 445 City Natural History Museum, slow dancing is made trickier when Auntie Edna insists on standing between the couple's arms, and employees who skip lunch to avoid sub-par cafeteria food risk getting fired. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socialist Test 445's national animal is the Black Widow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Socialist Test 445 is ranked 23,540th in the world and 1,688th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 87 law-abiding acts per hour.
