The Techno-Union of Soviet Socialist Republic is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Lyudmila Orlov with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, infamous sell-swords, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 32.729 billion Soviets are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Healthcare and Education also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Roturna. The average income tax rate is 91.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Soviet Socialist Republician economy, worth an astonishing 10,922 trillion Tech-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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, 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 333,727 Tech-Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The restriction that you must be over 1.1 metres tall to ride a carnotaurus has recently been waived, one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, power to the people comes from the barrel of a gun, and the government has become increasingly militant. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Soviet Socialist Republic's national animal is the Vulture, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Eastern Orthodoxy.

Soviet Socialist Republic is ranked 20,425^th in the world and 1,002^nd in Lazarus for Smartest Citizens, with 67.63 quips per hour.
