The United Socialist States of Sovvietsky is a huge, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 283 million Sovvietskyians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 74.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Sovvietskyian economy, worth 6.32 trillion Rubles 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 Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 22,340 Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ersatz chicken has left the nation's citizens with a bad taste in their mouths, the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, politicians are forced to vote with their party leaders, and feeling like a winner comes at a price. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sovvietsky's national animal is the Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sovvietsky is ranked 121,657^th in the world and 3,349^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 65 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
