The People's Republic of Soviscian is a small, orderly nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, complete lack of prisons, and public floggings. The cynical population of 40 million Soviscianians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Soviscianian economy, worth 2.06 trillion DNRS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. Average income is 51,463 DNRS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's endangered species are no longer endangered, hockey players who drop their gloves discard them on abandoned baseball mitts, Air Soviscian tickets have reached sky-high prices due to a complete monopoly on air travel, and nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soviscian's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Soviscian is ranked 101,537^th in the world and 6^th in Ashes of LPH for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 871.92 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
