The Galactic Soviet Republics of Of Gaia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by General Secretary Erwin with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cheerful population of 3.042 billion Soviets enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

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

The frighteningly efficient Soviet economy, worth 606 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 199,533 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Frat-house partying has become the national pastime, pro-wrestling bouts open with a legal disclaimer insisting that any violence is guaranteed 100% faked, suppression of pro-democracy protests is a daily occurrence, and Of Gaia has taken the radical step of electing its future leaders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Of Gaia's national animal is the Ferret, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Of Gaia is ranked 5,221^st in the world and 87^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Cultured, scoring 155 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
