The Soviet Federation of Arssia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by GS Vladimir Putin with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed population of 2.02 billion Arssians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moscow. The average income tax rate is 17.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Arssian economy, worth 97.3 trillion Rubles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,160 Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns, scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied Siberian Tiger, the environment is gorgeous so long as you're looking up, and GS Vladimir Putin has just been declared ruler of Arssia in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Arssia's national animal is the Siberian Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Arssia is ranked 97,267^th in the world and 7^th in Union Mundial for Smartest Citizens, with 37.1 quips per hour.
