The Federal Democratic Republic of Vologda Sosnogorsk is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Zlatek Kuzvaronov Volga with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 12.052 billion Volgans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ztalinigrad. The average income tax rate is 81.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Volgan economy, worth a remarkable 1,307 trillion Volgamarks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,447 Volgamarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Destitute AIs lurk around online bulletin boards begging for spare Volgamarks, the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, exceptionally healthy police officers can sprint after crooks for hours on end, and all children's clothes come in only cream and off-white to prevent offense. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vologda Sosnogorsk's national animal is the Valaat Pangolin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vologda Sosnogorsk is ranked 48,174^th in the world and 8^th in Federation of Allies for Most Patriotic, with 28.33 flags saluted per person per day.
