The United People's Republics of Communist Union of Rus is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The General Secretary with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.043 billion Rus 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rusgrad. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rus economy, worth 448 trillion Rus Rubles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,930 Rus Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, all telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', the tightness of border controls in Communist Union of Rus leave a little to be desired, and the only record being broken at sporting events is the highest death toll. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Communist Union of Rus's national animal is the Eurasian Brown Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Communist Union of Rus is ranked 123,802^nd in the world and 162^nd in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Populations, with 4.04 billion capita.
