The Armed Republic of Soviet Terran is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by President Fyodor Basargin with an even hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, free-roaming dinosaurs, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 20.482 billion Русские have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The tiny government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Education and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vladikosmos. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Soviet economy, worth a remarkable 5,644 trillion GNS a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 275,580 GNS, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 945,451 per year while the poor average 58,954, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Political dissidents are cut off from essential services, Big Beef has a steak in national politics, certain national parks offer tanning beds because the visitors never go outside, and scientists on maritime expeditions return with a healthy glow. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Soviet Terran's national animal is the Black Wyvern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Soviet Terran is ranked 321,079^th in the world and 4,707^th in The North Pacific for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -67 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
