“To Good Communism!”

The Industrial Communist Empire of Soviet Remnants is a colossal, devout nation, ruled by The Premier with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6.24 billion are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Moscow. The average income tax rate is 100%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing.

The police crack down on tax evaders without mercy, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, and the government has ordered a moratorium on referenda. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soviet Remnants's national animal is the Russian Taipan, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Gold Ruble Standard.

Soviet Remnants is ranked 2nd in the region and 3,110th in the world for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector.
