The Colony of Novaya Stalina is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning white bear population. Its quiet, industrious population of 3.241 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government concentrates mainly on Social Welfare, although Education and Healthcare are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 26%, but much higher for the wealthy. A very small private sector is dominated by the Retail industry.

All tariffs have been abolished. Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Novaya Stalina's national animal is the white bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the stalino.

Novaya Stalina is ranked 13th in Eastern Europe and 27,200th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -10 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
