The Soviet Socialist Federation of Czecho-Slovakian Union is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Alexej Svoboda with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, otherworldly petting zoo, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.936 billion Czechoslovaks 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.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prague. The average income tax rate is 90.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Czechoslovak economy, worth 663 trillion korunas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 134,488 korunas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler', psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Alexej Svoboda to meetings with foreign heads of state, Max Barry is this year's Miss Czecho-Slovakian Union, and UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Czecho-Slovakian Union's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Czecho-Slovakian Union is ranked 19,187^th in the world and 560^th in The Communist Bloc for Nicest Citizens, with 23.07 average smiles per day.
