The People's Republic of Olissipo Commune is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 584 million Olissipeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lisbon. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Olissipo Communean economy, worth 24.9 trillion Escudoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Gambling. Average income is 42,654 Escudoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Therapists dispense hugs for heroin dealers and cuddles for crackheads, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, the Violet Mile now refers to the long line-ups that former death row inmates wait in as they transfer to maximum security prisons, and elected officials who disagree with Leader have a lot of accidents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Olissipo Commune's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Olissipo Commune is ranked 9,659^th in the world and 321^st in The Communist Bloc for Safest, scoring 121.72 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
