“Zhit' stalo luchshe, zhit' stalo veselej!”

The Communist Federation of Stoklomolvi is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Vladimir Stuyonovich with an iron fist, and remarkable for its national health service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5.974 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vladistov. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Arms Manufacturing.

A government program is underway to revitalize Stoklomolvi's beaches, pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are sold freely by the government, the government recently relinquished its monopoly on the mail service, and citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Stoklomolvi. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stoklomolvi's national animal is the Siberian Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the stoklomov.

Stoklomolvi is ranked 53rd in the region and 52,544th in the world for Highest Unemployment Rates.
