The Republic of South Soviet Socialist Kansas is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Mario Olrloff with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, avowedly heterosexual populace, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.314 billion South Soviet Socialist Kansasians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oklahoma City. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient South Soviet Socialist Kansasian economy, worth 64.3 trillion KoЯns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 48,910 KoЯns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Maxtopian Grass flags adorn every college dorm room, prisoners work-share to cut down rising costs of keeping them in jail, the nation's green cities are indeed concrete jungles, and government popup ads are springing up like weeds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Soviet Socialist Kansas's national animal is the Skinny pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

South Soviet Socialist Kansas is ranked 280,509^th in the world and 10,619^th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 5.8 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
