The United Soviet States of Russcopia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lee Bozjame with an iron fist, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 823 million Russcopians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jolk. The average income tax rate is 68.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Russcopian economy, worth 67.1 trillion Carlons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 81,470 Carlons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Artists regularly face criminal charges and art-burning parties are common, rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, the teaching of evolution has been banned, and refugees without a PhD are sent back to where they came from. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Russcopia's national animal is the Mourning Dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Russcopia is ranked 216,280^th in the world and 500^th in A Taco Paradise for Most Primitive, scoring -93.64 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
