The Always Happy People of Communist Winnipeg is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Joe Zuken with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic population of 29.026 billion Communist Winnipegers enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Suffragette City. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Communist Winnipeger economy, worth a remarkable 4,610 trillion Zukens 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 mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 158,842 Zukens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler', international collectors know that a grease-stain on a work of art probably means it's passed through Communist Winnipeg, the government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly, and the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Communist Winnipeg's national animal is the red bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Communist Winnipeg is ranked 10,592^nd in the world and 2^nd in Manitoba for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 29.69 Bank.
