The Federation of Venusian Soviets is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Vladimir Chelomnei with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, digital currency, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.748 billion Venusian Soviets are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nowa Warszawa. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Venusian Soviet economy, worth 555 trillion Złoties 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 Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 148,212 Złoties, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, government buildings are being cleansed of anything that might have racist connotations, the government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks, and military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Venusian Soviets's national animal is the White Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Venusian Soviets is ranked 9,343^rd in the world and 66^th in The Leftist Assembly for Lowest Crime Rates, with 102.36 law-abiding acts per hour.
