What does “income tax rate of 100%” represents in game?
Note, this is the same as asking what “average disposable income of 0” means.
What is your opinion, does this mean utter poverty of citizens? Or something else.
As I understand even in most communist country tax was never 100 or even 90 percent in RL.
The disposable income is something people use to buy anything. No disposable income must mean "not having anything". Or not?

Not owning anything doesn't mean that you can't eat. Imagine the state having the rights to everything and assigning everything to you for a specific purpose.

It means Exactly What It Says On The Tin. All income is taken by the government and the citizen has no money.

Basically, they've abolished money. It would NEVER work in real life, but it is a thing you can do in NationStates.

That's not true. Mankind got by without money for millions of years. Sure they weren't an advanced society like ours but things were just fine without money. It could happen again too after some rioting and guidance. :P

Trade, though.

Currency has always existed throughout mankind; it's just been in different forms, and now we trade via a nation's national currency (USD, Euro, etc.) Society would collapse without trade.

The East won the West not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in giving native tribes fatal illness. Easterners often forget this fact; non-Easterners never do.

I'm sure it would choke out the economy as well.

They used the barter system. It was a trade of goods and services, not currency. Since it predates the very concept of currency it would be incorrect to say that currency has always existed. It would just be revisionism in order to further justify the idea of currency. I wonder though, is it possible to establish a barter system in one's nation?
