The United Socialist States of Eastern European Nations is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Elena Temnikova with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.126 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 Kurgan. The average income tax rate is 85%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Abortions are routinely performed in Eastern European Nations's hospitals, a new generation of aquariumless hotels are being built under government supervision, torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals, and the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eastern European Nations's national animal is the Anaconda, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the USSEEN Pound.

Eastern European Nations is ranked 8th in Leninist Russia and 54,834th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 125 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
