The Republics of Soviet Working States United is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Comrade Lenin with an iron fist, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, cynical population of 1.972 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 Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Petersburg. The average income tax rate is 86%, 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 Arms Manufacturing.

Online tourism reviews of Soviet Working States United are suspiciously positive and amazingly similar, students cut up leftover Rubles during Arts and Crafts, the government has cautiously opted to support women's suffrage, and gambling addicts regularly lose their families' nest eggs at Native Soviet Working States Unitedite casinos. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soviet Working States United's national animal is the Polar Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is state atheism, and its currency is the Ruble.

Soviet Working States United is ranked 127th in USSR and 104,163rd in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -2 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
