The Eternal People's Republic of Gulagistan Commune is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Akratul Basznak with an iron fist, and notable for its enslaved workforce, parental licensing program, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.745 billion Comrades are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capitalist Gulag. The average income tax rate is 82.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Gulagistan Communean economy, worth 573 trillion lefts 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, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. 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 58,890 lefts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nanny industry has had a boom after maternity leave was recently banned, the newest generation of Comrades are nearly clone-like in appearance, short is not always sweet, and government expenses are beyond compare. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gulagistan Commune's national animal is the worker, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gulagistan Commune is ranked 280,702nd in the world and 154th in Realm of the Whispering Winds for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -88.42 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
