The Siberian Districts of Siberian Districts is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and state-planned economy. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 10.244 billion Siberian Districts are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.8%.

The all-consuming Siberian Disctricts economy, worth a remarkable 1,003 trillion Siberian Districts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Gambling, Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 97,920 Siberian Districts, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 346,607 per year while the poor average 19,973, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

The Siberian Districts Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon', mountains of VHS tapes of police actions are stacking up in the National Library, bronze and marble supplies are running low as sculptors depict full-figured subjects, and the phrase "you might think that but I couldn't possibly comment" is the closest you'll get to a straight answer from Siberian Disctricts politicians. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Siberian Districts's national animal is the Siberian Districts, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Siberian Districts is ranked 338,390th in the world and 1,347th in the Plains of Perdition for Lowest Crime Rates, with 15.52 law-abiding acts per hour.
