The United Socialist States of BasedonAngola is a small, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 45 million BasedonAngolans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Welfare, and Healthcare also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 52.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case BasedonAngolan economy, worth 792 billion CIEDCS 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, fairly diversified black market in Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. 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 17,619 CIEDCS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Orphanages are closing their doors as the government forces parents to actually raise their children, acupuncture is routinely prescribed for intravenous drug addicts, if you go into the woods today you're sure of a big surprise, and pro-wrestling bouts open with a legal disclaimer insisting that any violence is guaranteed 100% faked. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BasedonAngola's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

BasedonAngola is ranked 290,635^th in the world and 4^th in C I E D for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.31 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
