Countries, sometimes fictitious, ruled by communist regimes. As a rule of thumb, these tend to be what happens to Ruritania when a People's Republic of Tyranny is installed there. These places are often pretty depressing, dominated by dilapidated concrete architecture, people wearing drab Commie clothing and probably even the weather cold and rainy (unless it's some place like Cuba when this trope meets Banana Republic). Basic utilities are substandard, there are shortages of almost everything (but the news service is all too happy to inform you that a local foundry has just cast its 500,000th ton of raw steel) and what little consumer goods are produced are absolute rubbish, especially the cars. However, a foreigner will be glad to find out his spare change is quite a sum in local currency. Locals, besides the clothing, tend to be The Eeyore or Apathetic Citizens, with possibly the only exception being Gallows Humour (often of Russian Reversal variety). Which means it's no wonder they tend to be very keen on alcohol. There's no free speech, either. On the up side, there's always someone caring for you, and frequent public festivities. You can also expect secret weapons facilities (especially in the biological field of WMD). And it's the place where the Defector from Commie Land comes from. In Eastern Bloc portrayals during the Cold War, Commie Lands will undoubtedly be portrayed as flawless, considering that media workers in the nation could easily get in trouble for creating anything that resembled dissent. Post-Cold War, the ex-Eastern Bloc countries will portray their former regimes as heartless dictatorships, or if Why We Are Bummed Communism Fell is in effect, regimes that had a good idea but squandered bringing it into fruition— Good Bye, Lenin! is a great example of this kind of portrayal. Since the USSR was the one calling the shots, for the most part, it tends to be the default Commie Land, while East Germany also gets a lot of portrayal for being a hotbed of spy activity (and in media tends to avoid the error that Communism = Russians). The other "middle" Eastern Bloc countries may come about when trying to depict a pretty poor and depressing place for the protagonist to infiltrate (with varying accuracy, considering that some of these non-major Eastern Bloc countries, such as Czechoslovakia and Hungary, had a relatively less oppressive government and high living standards). Those in the mood for making a war film will use Vietnam, a tropical Commie Land where guerillas wait in the Hungry Jungle, eager to ambush American soldiers. As of now, China and North Korea are probably the go-to examples for this trope, although China's economy has reformed greatly since the end of the Cold War.note Although as of 2022 it's veering much closer to this due to massive human rights issues See Red China for more details. After the Cold War, Commie Land usually returns to its Ruritanian heritage (Countrystani in the case of Central Asia), essentially mixing the worst aspects of the old and the new and becoming a place of rampant crime and predatory capitalism (see media portrayals of The New Russia). The nicer, more-lighthearted versions will instead be populated by Chummy Commies and may have a Post-Scarcity Economy, where capitalism, instead of being violently overthrown, has become obsolete. A subtrope of The Dictatorship. Compare and contrast Privately Owned Society (the ideological opposite), Alternate-History Nazi Victory (the Axis counterpart), Eagleland, Ruritania and Banana Republic. |

In The Falcon Cannot Hear, one of the major factions in the Second American Civil War is the American Soviet Republic, a Stalinist state controlling everything from Chicago to New York City, and is backed by the USSR. Their East Coast forces, more Trotskyist in nature, get along better with the democratic Provisional Government than with the ASR's leadership, and eventually break away. | |

Mr. Jones (2019): Much of the film is set in the Soviet Union during 1933. Moscow is shown as drab, oppressive and with people constantly under surveillance. Ukraine is far worse, as there's mass death by famine which the government is trying to keep a secret. | |

Similarly to The Firemen's Ball, Man of Iron is a movie about Commie Land made inside Commie Land during a thaw, this one being made in Poland in 1981 after the government recognized the Solidarity union. The film depicts the battle of the workers of Solidarity for human rights and reforms, as well as the State Sec that oppose them at every turn. Also similar to The Firemen's Ball, this film was banned in its country after a repressive crackdown, only to be seen again after 1989. | |

Played very much for laughs in Paranoia's The People's Glorious Revolutionary Adventure. Normally, the players lived in the Computer-controlled Alpha Complex as (semi-)loyal Troubleshooters; in TPGRA, they lived in the Communist-controlled Alpha State as (semi-)loyal Smershoviks. Everything was, of course, RED clearance (though some things were more RED than others), and everyone had big bushy beards and were to be speakink in thick Russian accent. Depression is being mandatory! Tovarich Computer is your Tovarich! Ironically, while Friend Computer is characterized by a violent paranoid hatred of all things Communist (at least, according to its rather warped understanding of communism)note describing Friend Computer as "violent", "paranoid" or "warped" or in any other way suggesting that Friend Computer has less than a regulation compliment of marbles is treason, the society of Alpha Complex is itself heavily organised around ideals and structures very similar to those of Communism (although pointing this out to the Friend Computer is liable to get you executed on the spot). | |

A Year of the Quiet Sun: The setting is western Poland, a dismal place less than a year after the end of World War II. The people are living in crumbling, damaged German apartment buildings (the area had been transferred from Germany to Poland after the end of the war). They are lining up for food. State Sec communist thugs are everywhere, sometimes oppressing the people and sometimes just stealing from them, as with the goons who barge into Emilia's apartment, steal her money, and nearly rape her. The film is in color, but everything is gray and sad. | |

Crimson Skies has the successor state The People's Collective (covering most of the territory of former Iowa). The name is kind of a giveaway. In a slight twist, it's ruled by a ''Christian'' communist regime (Christian communism is real but has never really caught on beyond small communities). | |

The Grand Budapest Hotel: The grim, faded Zubrowka seen in the 1960s is heavily implied to be part of the Warsaw Pact. Mr. Moustafa notes that the once sumptuous steam baths in the Grand Budapest could not have been maintained because they were "too decadent for current tastes", and the Author later notes that Mr. Moustafa handed over his great fortune to the local commissar to stop the hotel falling into government hands as "common property". | |

Played to the hilt in Ida, a 2014 film from Poland set in the Poland of 1961. The weather is rainy and dreary. People seem mostly depressed. The buildings are crumbling, with paint peeling everywhere. Communist propaganda plays on the radio. The film was shot in black and white, which adds to the downer mood. | |

Guyana: Crime of the Century: While Guyana by itself isn't portrayed as an evil country in the movie, the socialist alignment of its government is referenced with a negative connotation by the son of one of the reporters assigned to travel there with O'Brien (Ron Harvey), during the specific moment when Ron's daughter is describing the country's geography (this is justified in-universe due to the movie taking place in 1977-78, back when the political climate in the US was very tense in Real Life due to the ongoing events involving the country and other socialist nations like Cuba and the Soviet Union). | |

Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg depicts an alternate interwar period after a Central Powers victory in 1921. Devastated by the war and losing much of their overseas empires, France and later Britain fell to socialist revolutions fueled by working-class anger against the establishment and bitterness towards the victorious German Empire. However, they are not communists, since the failure of the Russian Communist Revolution (which results in Russia still being a constitutional republic at the start of the game) combining with the massively weakened British and French governments mean that the primary radical-left ideology in the universe is Syndicalism (which was heavily suppressed in real life by all governments) instead of Marxism-Leninism. The closest equivalents to IRL authoritarian Communism, such as the Bolshevik remnants, or the Jacobins in the Commune of France, are lumped under the "Totalist" ideology. By the game's start date of 1936, the Internationale consists of Britain, France, Italy and Bengal - depending on events it can be expanded to include Spain, Russia, the United States and Australasia. | |

In Shadow of the Conqueror, the Dawn Empire was essentially a fantasy version of this. During his reign, Dayless enacted a number of USSR-style policies, which included, among other things, confiscating all private property and food available, so as to make everyone in his empire "equal". He also relentlessly persecuted and killed anyone who could threaten his rule within the Empire. | |

Sátántangó is a Hungarian movie made in 1994, five years after the fall of Communism, but it was adapted from a 1985 Hungarian novel that was very subversive for that time and place. The film depicts a bunch of sad, desperate people living in a failed collective farm. Some people are alcoholics, there are a few thieves, and everyone else seems to exist in a state of torpor. The buildings are cracked and crumbling. The streets are nothing but mud, except when they're strewn with garbage. It rains constantly. Like Ida, this film is also shot in black and white to make things look more depressing. | |

Equestria at War depicts various forms of communism, with two specifically named being Stalliongrad communism which is fairly standard, and Equalism, which advocates the abolishment of individualism completely in the name of equality. In practice, they come in all varieties (with some countries able to choose between several different types of communism), from fairly utopian to straight out fascism, from well run to dangerously incompetent. Stalliongrad under Vasiliy will join Big Good Celestia against the Changelings and attempt to advance the cause of communism in other countries through democratic means, where as Blackhollow under Reeve Blyeddin will lose most of its population and cripple its science base. | |

Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet has this under Kugel's command: a nation where free enterprise is abolished, along with even money, putting it on par with Red Khmer Cambodia. Everyone is assigned work by the leadership, whose plan is everything. Happiness is defined as working for the common good, which is defined by the leadership. This is also what the Galactic Alliance of Mankind has become. | |

Stellaris's MegaCorp DLC lets you make your own Communist government IN SPACE! by choosing the Shared Burdens civic. However, since you can only take said civic if you have the Fanatic Egalitarian ethos (which only allows Democratic governments) and if you don't have the Xenophobe ethos, this means that a civilization with the Shared Burdens civic is closer to a Marxist Communist society or Anarcho-Commie Land. | |

Genius: The Transgression: Tsoska, an Eldritch Location created from disproven thought and symbolizes Dystopias as a whole, is quite literally made of this trope, thanks to the influence of Western perceptions of the Soviet Union; while there's a lot of fascism, a bit of Nazism and general despotism influencing it, the most vivid dystopia in most minds is a Soviet-style nation, and thus that's what it most resembles. A brief mention is made of its capitalist counterpart, Voltt City. | |

America has become this trope in Amerika, run down by years of collectivization and Soviet asset-stripping, dominated by Secret Police and State Sec. | |

The Firemen's Ball: A Commie Land movie made, remarkably, inside Commie Land—namely, Czechoslovakia 1967—portraying the authorities as bumbling incompetents and society in general as hopelessly corrupt. Made during the period of liberalization in Czechoslovakia that peaked with the Prague Spring of 1968 and was ended decisively by the arrival of Soviet tanks that year. Thereafter banned in Czechoslovakia until the Velvet Revolution and the fall of Communism in 1989. Similarly to The Firemen's Ball, Man of Iron is a movie about Commie Land made inside Commie Land during a thaw, this one being made in Poland in 1981 after the government recognized the Solidarity union. The film depicts the battle of the workers of Solidarity for human rights and reforms, as well as the State Sec that oppose them at every turn. Also similar to The Firemen's Ball, this film was banned in its country after a repressive crackdown, only to be seen again after 1989. |

The Romulans were later developed in Star Trek: The Next Generation as filling this role. The Borg Collective is a techno-cyborg version. | |
