The Glorious People's Republic of The Stalinist Union is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by The Communist Party with an iron fist, and remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 12.028 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

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 Stalin City. The average income tax rate is 99%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing.

The government enforces a policy of 'from each according to their ability, to each according to the available budget', citizens receive notices of disenfranchisement along with their parking tickets, politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes, and citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Stalinist Union's national animal is the scorpion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is atheism, and its currency is the rouble.

The Stalinist Union is ranked 1st in Stalinist Utopia and 5,571st in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 7 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
