It sounds interesting, and it obviously works. Everyone gets a share, and no one starves. (Or, from what I can tell)
The problem is, it sounds incredibily boring. I mean, look at the photo. Every house is the same. And you can't leave, or everything you have disappears.
Overall, though, if you don't mind that, it seems like an excellent idea, communism in it's pure form. It's just not for me. I need a bit more....excitment in my life.
And, of course, there is the chance of someone abusing the system. It said that the one family owns over half the companies. If they retain that power, eventully they will corrupt.

its a bit too big brothery to me that one. when i pay taxes i think about 50-70% of it goes to the state, the last 30-50 goes not further than my municipality.

that system over there does not exactly encourage creativity beyond living your life as a drone. not my life, though in a large country like that, it might be selfish not to sacrifice a little.

then again, we don't need to worry too much because we've spent the last 500 years getting to where we are today. i doubt our leaders will allow us to lose that without a fight... for better or worse.
