The People's Republic of The Union of Bolshevik Socialist States is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 235 million Bolshdens are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Union of Bolshevik Socialist Statesian economy, worth 5.84 trillion Stanislavs 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 Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 24,832 Stanislavs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A murderous reputation can revitalise a flagging celebrity career, workers of "fairweather faith" claim six months of paid leave for holy days per year, murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, and a degree in Leader Science with a Minor in Awesomeology starts many political careers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Union of Bolshevik Socialist States's national animal is the Brown Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
