The People's Republic of Primorya is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 2.472 billion Primoryans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 77.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Primoryan economy, worth 14.5 trillion rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Gambling, and Book Publishing. Average income is 5,862 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Primorya's national animal is the Siberian tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Primorya is ranked 213,445^th in the world and 1,003^rd in Europeia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 64.27 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
