The Rosy Red Republics of Podria is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sisterly Leader Nadezhda Krupskaya with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.325 billion Podrian enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Doiregrad. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Podri economy, worth a remarkable 1,387 trillion Podrian Assembly Notes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 112,589 Podrian Assembly Notes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's all quiet on the western front, a death threat has replaced 'hello' as an official greeting in the nation, exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, and people stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating. Crime is totally unknown. Podria's national animal is the serpent, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Rosy Redism.

Podria is ranked 5,574th in the world and 58th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,214.21 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
