The Armed Republic of Soviet Terran is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by President Fyodor Basargin with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, infamous sell-swords, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 20.257 billion Русские are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Education and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vladikosmos. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Soviet economy, worth a remarkable 5,512 trillion GNS a year, is mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 272,121 GNS, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,133,085 per year while the poor average 42,721, a ratio of 26.5 to 1.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, stony-faced prosecutors play loud gangster rap music during court proceedings, Soviet Terran is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, and the industries of Soviet Terran are coughing all the way to the bank. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Soviet Terran's national animal is the Black Wyvern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Soviet Terran is ranked 70,122^nd in the world and 1,203^rd in The North Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 42,721.08 Standard Monetary Units.
