The People's Republic of Sovtaskar is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Sovtaskar Council with a fair hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.856 billion Sovtaskarians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Undergrowth. The average income tax rate is 94.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Sovtaskarian economy, worth 248 trillion Sovtaskar coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 133,955 Sovtaskar coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, the ruling party has a devil of a time keeping order in the ranks, Sovtaskarian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about The Sovtaskar Council, and grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Sovtaskar's national animal is the phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

Sovtaskar is ranked 289,009^th in the world and 12^th in OmniOne for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.36 kickbacks per hour.
