The Holy Socialist Union of New Tussia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Savely Yuriev with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, aversion to nipples, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.455 billion Tussians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paris. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Tussian economy, worth 655 trillion Bitcoins 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 Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 189,683 Bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans, the thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions, mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, and prisoners pray grey skies are gonna clear up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. New Tussia's national animal is the Black Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

New Tussia is ranked 70,309^th in the world and 119^th in Enadia for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
