The Galactic Soviet Republics of Of Gaia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by General Secretary Erwin with an iron fist, and notable for its digital currency, soft-spoken computers, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 3.164 billion Soviets 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 large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neo Moskva. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Soviet economy, worth 640 trillion Credits 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 202,359 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass, the recycled air in planes is nauseating, diplomatic cables about General Secretary Erwin have suddenly been very flattering, and failed genetic experiments wreak havoc as they roam the countryside. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Of Gaia's national animal is the Ferret, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Of Gaia is ranked 327,343^rd in the world and 503^rd in The Communist Bloc for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 3,035.4 Standard Monetary Units.
