The Armed Republic of The 55th Revolutionary Worker Council is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons and state-planned economy. The democratic population of 21.184 billion 55th Revolutionary Worker Councilians 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, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Industry, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 42.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient 55th Revolutionary Worker Councilian economy, worth 799 trillion Labormarks 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, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. 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 37,732 Labormarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is almost non-existent. The 55th Revolutionary Worker Council's national animal is the Spider, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The 55th Revolutionary Worker Council is ranked 159,080^th in the world and 1^st in Dobrich for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.23 law-abiding acts per hour.
