The Socialist Communes of Side 10 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, anti-smoking policies, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 15.494 billion Communards are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Environment, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eringrad. The average income tax rate is 99.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Side 10ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,835 trillion credits 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 led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 183,013 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Side 10, tax revenue is often intercepted by international accountants before ever seeing the national treasury, and the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Side 10's national animal is the tapir, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Side 10 is ranked 36,678^th in the world and 884^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 34.21 flags saluted per person per day.
