The Kitsu Republic of Russkov Soviet is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Artyom Kitsenko with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 24.015 billion Soviets have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cerelia. The average income tax rate is 99.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Kitsu economy, worth a remarkable 6,302 trillion Vixims 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 large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. 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 an amazing 262,419 Vixims, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign musicians that Supreme Leader Artyom Kitsenko dislikes are turned away at the border, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time, and convicted felons are forced into slavery for their crimes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Russkov Soviet's national animal is the Kitsune, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Order of the Golden Fox.

Russkov Soviet is ranked 291,767th in the world and 47th in The Confederacy of Free Nations for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -44.92 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
