Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Fourth International of Trotskyst Soviet Union is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The Supreme Soviet Of Trotskygrad with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 2.821 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Equality, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trotskygrad. The average income tax rate is 99%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The mob and the police have recently had numerous clashes in the back alleys of Trotskyst Soviet Union's cities due to the government's steadfast anti-casino stance, the government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, and students in Trotskyst Soviet Union's schools rarely attend their classes. Crime is totally unknown. Trotskyst Soviet Union's national animal is the ginger bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the trot.

Trotskyst Soviet Union is ranked 158th in USSR and 100,452nd in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -45 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
