The Rogue Nation of Children Of Lenin is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the workers with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.007 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, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 93%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, drunk drivers are sentenced to death, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, and the study of medicine is popular throughout Children Of Lenin. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Children Of Lenin's national animal is the Python Regius, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the 762x39WP.

Children Of Lenin is ranked 134th in USSR and 96,481st in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
