The United Socialist States of Soviet Republics of the Soviet Union is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its public floggings, pith helmet sales, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, devout population of 516 million soviets are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Москва. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The russian economy, worth 30.6 trillion 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Information Technology. 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 59,213 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pet owners exercise their brown bears at a snail's pace or risk prosecution, the relatives of suicide victims tend to be angry rather than sad, torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals, and the best spies are positively radiant after completing a big mission. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soviet Republics of the Soviet Union's national animal is the brown bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Soviet Republics of the Soviet Union is ranked 56,243^rd in the world and 5^th in militian right wing for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 133.46 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
