The United Socialist States of Soviet Republics of the Soviet Union is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, devout population of 443 million soviets are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Москва. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The russian economy, worth 26.7 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Gambling. 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 60,192 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government is spending billions of rubles on a fancy space probe to find a planet that may not even exist, rural soviets stare in awe at the bright lights of the big cities, workers have seized control of the economy, and people are bored of easy crossword puzzles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soviet Republics of the Soviet Union's national animal is the brown bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Soviet Republics of the Soviet Union is ranked 282,327^th in the world and 27^th in militian right wing for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -12.17 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
