The Federation of Autonomous Russian Republics is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Federal President Ivan Sokolovsky with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, otherworldly petting zoo, and public floggings. The cynical population of 834 million Russians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Smolensk. The average income tax rate is 47.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Russian economy, worth 73.7 trillion Federal Russian Rubles a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 88,361 Federal Russian Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Business owners return from long vacations to find their factories have been turned into homeless shelters, most believe it doesn't hurt to embrace free trade, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Autonomous Russian Republics, and Federal President Ivan Sokolovsky has just been declared ruler of Autonomous Russian Republics in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Autonomous Russian Republics's national animal is the Brown Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Autonomous Russian Republics is ranked 213,403^rd in the world and 43^rd in Midnight Vale for Largest Populations, with 834 million capita.
