The Armed Republic of Soviet Terran is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by President Fyodor Basargin with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 20.331 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 receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vladikosmos. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Soviet economy, worth a remarkable 5,548 trillion GNS a year, is mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 272,892 GNS, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,037,299 per year while the poor average 49,781, a ratio of 20.8 to 1.

The annual Adult Film Awards have a category for most titillating aftershave advert, school uniforms are compulsory, war criminals are given full state funerals, and janitors and factory workers are often better educated than the bosses they work for.
