The Red Claws of Russian Bear is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 19.578 billion Russian Bearians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 67.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Russian Bearian economy, worth 388 trillion IONS a year, is highly specialized and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 19,856 IONS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader is the self-declared God of all Russian Bear, voting is voluntary, all news sources are under strict government control, and the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Russian Bear's national animal is the Bear and its national religion is Orioni.

Russian Bear is ranked 125,200^th in the world and 33^rd in USSR for Safest, scoring 70.69 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
