The Republic of Siberian Black League is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.082 billion Siberian Black Leagueans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Siberian Black Leaguean economy, worth 83.3 trillion Rubles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,995 Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Leader has just been declared ruler of Siberian Black League in an international press conference, Siberian Black Leaguean scientists are mixing chewing tobacco with bacon flavouring in an attempt to craft the perfect male snack, the Siberian Black League Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Siberian Black League's national animal is the Bear, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Siberian Black League is ranked 293,574^th in the world and 71^st in Colonia Apollonis for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.54 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
