The Your Local Communist of Planetary Soviet Socialist Republics is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, state-planned economy, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 1.25 billion Soviets are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moscow. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.2%.

The all-consuming Soviet economy, worth 137 trillion Soviet Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 109,901 Soviet Credits, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.

A faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, people on the brink of death are put through unwanted and stressful procedures, the new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, and nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Planetary Soviet Socialist Republics's national animal is the Double-headed Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Planetary Soviet Socialist Republics is ranked 286,684^th in the world and 6,303^rd in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 44 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
