The United Socialist States of Melina Vostokoff is a titanic, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 14.428 billion Vostokoffians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 52.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Melina Vostokoff economy, worth 128 trillion Rubels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 8,883 Rubels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Melina Vostokoff's national animal is the Borzoi.

Melina Vostokoff is ranked 306,796^th in the world and 2^nd in The Red Room Academy for Most Developed, scoring 41.39 on the Human Development Index.
