The The crazy Marxist land of Communist-Union is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its soft-spoken computers, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 15.666 billion Comrades love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marx. The average income tax rate is 99.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Communist-Unionian economy, worth a remarkable 2,902 trillion Equeeses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 185,286 Equeeses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Workers of "fairweather faith" claim six months of paid leave for holy days per year, theatre audiences often need a telescope to see the stage, the banshee wail foretells skies of death, and foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Communist-Union's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Communist-Union is ranked 4,998^th in the world and 46^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 17,392.02 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
