The Socialist State of Severia and Starodubschina is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Basil Sumkov with an even hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.384 billion Sevarians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Winewsk. The average income tax rate is 89.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Severia and Starodubschinan economy, worth 490 trillion salevs 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 144,961 salevs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, Basil Sumkov reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes, and the ruling party has a devil of a time keeping order in the ranks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Severia and Starodubschina's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Severia and Starodubschina is ranked 173,901^st in the world and 168^th in Declansburg for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 173.1 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
