The Popular Republic of Volgograd Communes is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Ministerial Council with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.573 billion Volgogradeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Soviet Palace. The average income tax rate is 93.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Volgogradean economy, worth 233 trillion Volgogradean Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 148,267 Volgogradean Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children are terrified that the 'flying police monster' will come to take them away in the night, autocrats are persona non grata, elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-Volgogradean Ruble mansions, and murderers with law degrees can be seen swinging the gavel in courts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Volgograd Communes's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Volgograd Communes is ranked 18,113^th in the world and 204^th in The Leftist Assembly for Nicest Citizens, with 23.8 average smiles per day.
