The Solidarity Movement of Attempted Socialism is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Chairperson Marcie Elizabeth Illum with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, otherworldly petting zoo, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 19.128 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 government is primarily concerned with Education, although Healthcare, Environment, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality aren't funded at all. 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 4,896 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 255,985 work-hour equivalents, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Karlmarxhof Times is sold out, it turns out that you actually can put a price on intangible cultural heritage, and state dairy cow's milk is a shear-thickening fluid that can stop small-caliber bullets. 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 290,568^th in the world and 6,338^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -45.85 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
