The Democratic Republic of Kiev-Russ is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Pingu with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, smutty television, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.19 billion Kiev-Russians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pylravian. The average income tax rate is 91.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kiev-Russian economy, worth 433 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 197,856 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Jailbreaking is the best-selling book category of the year, a death threat has replaced 'hello' as an official greeting in the nation, 1% of global paper production is bound for the National Archive, and the nation's taxpayers pay for foreign governments' extravagances. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kiev-Russ's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Kiev-Russ is ranked 7,179^th in the world and 1^st in AP 7 for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 6,491.03 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
