The Soviet Socialist Union of Sorianora is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Joseph Stalin II with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, vat-grown people, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 10.02 billion Soviets are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moskva. The average income tax rate is 93.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Soviet economy, worth a remarkable 4,162 trillion Soviet Rubles 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. 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 an amazing 415,409 Soviet Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Singles on the dating scene no longer worry about looking their age, truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon, a large concrete wall is being built around the country's borders, and diplomacy is a foreign concept to Soviets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sorianora's national animal is the Russian Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is State Secularism.

Sorianora is ranked 3,982nd in the world and 4th in Callista for Largest Governments, scoring 46.3 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
