The USSR of Karelia and Prussia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 742 million Soviets are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 76.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Soviet economy, worth 32.2 trillion Euros 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 Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 43,384 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soviet watches are often the only thing to survive a disaster intact, welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income, and 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Karelia and Prussia's radio stations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karelia and Prussia's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Karelia and Prussia is ranked 22,632^nd in the world and 7^th in The Commonwealth Of Furry Peoples for Safest, scoring 112.68 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
