The Federation of Russyn is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Vladimir Kara-Murza with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 3.581 billion Russians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yekaterinburg. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Russian economy, worth 607 trillion Russyn Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 169,618 Russyn Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Basketball players are sick and tired of the court, piracy is the nation's most popular pastime, songwriters compete to see who can come up with the most blasphemous lyrics, and cinemas play art-house movies to ever-shrinking audiences as film critics rule the industry. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Russyn's national animal is the Eurasian Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Eastern Orthodoxy.

Russyn is ranked 12,217^th in the world and 2^nd in Siberia for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 4,114.4 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
