“Zhit' stalo luchshe, zhit' stalo veselej!”

The Communist Federation of Stoklomolvi is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Vladimir Stuyonovich with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.495 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 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 Vladistov. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Arms Manufacturing.

A well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, and citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stoklomolvi's national animal is the Siberian Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the stoklomov.

Stoklomolvi is ranked 36th in the region and 54,464th in the world for Highest Unemployment Rates.
