The United Socialist States of KCCCP 97 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 10.432 billion KCCCP 97ians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 52.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant KCCCP 97ian economy, worth 110 trillion rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 10,621 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. KCCCP 97's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

KCCCP 97 is ranked 82,612^th in the world and 1^st in Socialist World and Other World Pact for Most Beautiful Environments, with 591.34 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
