“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 notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.416 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt 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.

The police have reaffirmed their tough stance on drugs, drug-related crimes carry the death penalty, major cities are suffering under water rationing, and government-run screening operations remove embryos with severe genetic disorders. 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 32nd in the region and 54,789th in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens.
