The United Socialist Republics of The Usr is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Premier of United Socialist States with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, avowedly heterosexual populace, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.131 billion Soviets are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stalingrad. The average income tax rate is 78.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming a Soviet economy, worth 578 trillion Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 184,707 Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Scientists are researching the best way to kill off humanity to prevent catastrophic war, forgetting to pay your annual passport bill is a leading cause of deportations, the nationalistic national anthem inspires citizens to literally spit at foreigners, and phone taps are frequently carried out by the police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Usr's national animal is the Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Orthodox Christians.
The Usr is ranked 117,858th in the world and 4,849th in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 40,450.85 Standard Monetary Units.
