The Autocratic Empire of TheRussianFederation is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by a Tsar with an iron fist, and notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 15.013 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 concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Healthcare are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moscow. The average income tax rate is 98%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Government popup ads are springing up like weeds, the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TheRussianFederation's national animal is the Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Orthodox Christianity, and its currency is the Ruble.

TheRussianFederation is ranked 4th in European Continent and 23,299th in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 41 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
