The Fatherland Federation of The Lands of Siberia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Ivan Vladimir with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, daily referendums, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.306 billion Siberians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novosibirsk. The average income tax rate is 33.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Siberian economy, worth 237 trillion Siberian Rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,839 Siberian Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Parents who refuse to vaccinate their children are given a short jail sentence, exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies", footballers are doing aerobics in the sauna to build their hot weather endurance, and dentists routinely perform open heart surgery. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Lands of Siberia's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Russian Orthodox Church.

The Lands of Siberia is ranked 24,309^th in the world and 2^nd in Trading Cards for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 7,213.2 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
