The United Socialist States of Union of Soviet State Republics is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Pavel Bukharin with an iron fist, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.738 billion Soviets are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rome. The average income tax rate is 41.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Soviet economy, worth a remarkable 1,355 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 286,038 Soviet Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government popup ads are springing up like weeds, signs of extraterrestrial life are just foreign astronauts evading Soviet justice, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, and destitute athletes are forced to train in the street. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Union of Soviet State Republics's national animal is the Polar Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is *Redacted*.

Union of Soviet State Republics is ranked 2,460^th in the world and 3^rd in Aurora for Lowest Crime Rates, with 136.83 law-abiding acts per hour.
