The Commonwealth of Communitarian States is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Dr Olivia Phillips with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 3.638 billion citizens of the Commonwealth 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 large, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aekum. The average income tax rate is 96.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Commonwealth economy, worth 791 trillion τ True-Dyras a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 217,574 τ True-Dyras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Taxpayer money is hard at work exorcizing laundry, the army lives rent-free in foreigners' heads and houses, government crews work tirelessly to retake the suburbs from organized packs of raccoons, and life expectancy is way down but posthuman perfectionism is way up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Communitarian States's national animal is the Greater Spotted Stingray, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Communitarian States is ranked 205,701^st in the world and 97^th in Communitas for Largest Black Market, with 445 billion Standard Monetary Units.
