The Solidarity Movement of Attempted Socialism is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Chairperson Marcie Elizabeth Illum with a fair hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, free-roaming dinosaurs, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 19.207 billion Socialists are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, with Healthcare, Environment, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karlmarxhof. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Socialist economy, worth a remarkable 4,929 trillion work-hour equivalents 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 256,675 work-hour equivalents, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists, psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Chairperson Marcie Elizabeth Illum to meetings with foreign heads of state, Attempted Socialism's heavy congestion charges are the bane of motorists' lives, and most ambassadors from Attempted Socialism retire only a few years after being appointed. Crime is totally unknown. Attempted Socialism's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Attempted Socialism is ranked 204,047^th in the world and 4,487^th in The North Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -1.79 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
