Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The United Socialist States of Central Russia is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate population of 1.267 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ikrash. The average income tax rate is 90%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Book Publishing.

The people of Central Russia are renowned for their nihilistic attitudes, torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals, school uniforms are compulsory, and the government snoops on private internet connections. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Central Russia's national animal is the Snow Leopard, and its currency is the Russian Dollar.

Central Russia is ranked 1,795th in 10000 Islands and 92,068th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
