The United People's Communes of Sovtaskar is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Sovtaskar Council with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cheerful population of 6.521 billion Sovtaskarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Undergrowth. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Sovtaskarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,025 trillion Sovtaskar coins 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 157,194 Sovtaskar coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, every day is laundry day, politicians spend more time in courtrooms than in Parliament, and reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news. Crime is totally unknown. Sovtaskar's national animal is the phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

Sovtaskar is ranked 328,257^th in the world and 539^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -15.62 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
