The United Socialist States of KCCCP 178 is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 10.49 billion KCCCP 178ians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 56.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant KCCCP 178ian economy, worth 105 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 black market in Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. 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 10,046 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. KCCCP 178's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

KCCCP 178 is ranked 98,283^rd in the world and 1^st in Soviets for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 242.2 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
