The Soviet Socialist Republic of Sovast is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Flodimirv Lonun with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 2.031 billion Sovastics enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Masku. The average income tax rate is 85.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Sovastian economy, worth 181 trillion Credit Points 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is 89,336 Credit Points, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sovast's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sovast is ranked 13,605^th in the world and 779^th in Balder for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 58.79 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
