The Republic of Peter Svidler is a huge, pleasant nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars.

Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.
The strong Peter Svidlerian economy, worth 19.7 trillion rubles a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 70,516 rubles, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 399,114 per year while the poor average 6,104, a ratio of 65.4 to 1.
