Maybe someone should add a bit on to the article on the modern influences of such a state and similar examples. I am no expert, but I can think of a few off the top of my head, like the USSR or Maoist China. In any case, I should let someone know and make sure that I have the A-okay to do this. I am not sure if this would technically be off topic, but I feel it must be mentioned. Or at most, given it's own article. Thanks for reading. RKelly 23:49, 20 December 2013 (EST)
