The Imperial Communist State of Soviet Kem is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Vladimir Kem with an iron fist, and remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.001 billion Soviet Kemrainans 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kem City. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Soviet Kemrianan economy, worth a remarkable 2,281 trillion Marxes 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, quite specialized black market in Information Technology 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 an amazing 228,166 Marxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Keeping the lights on keeps the lights on for increasing amounts of Soviet Kemrainans, chipped paint can see a building condemned, outdoor parties in Kem City are all the rave, and the nation is losing its mind(s). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soviet Kem's national animal is the Kemrainan Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Kemism.

Soviet Kem is ranked 242,049^th in the world and 292^nd in The Communist Bloc for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -3.22 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
