The People's Union of Sovetsya is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Iyun' Jaladi with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, otherworldly petting zoo, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate population of 10.294 billion Socialists are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zvezdagrad. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Socialist economy, worth 422 trillion Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is 41,038 Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Squeaky high prepubescent voices recite the patriotic poem "Hail to The Leader!" before each meal, diners regard burgers made from mechanically reclaimed cow protein as "proper meat", gun ownership is compulsory, and doctors will keep brain-dead coma patients ventilated for years in order to avoid accusations of allowing people to die. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Sovetsya's national animal is the Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sovetsya is ranked 236,765^th in the world and 17^th in Aurora for Largest Black Market, with 250 billion Standard Monetary Units.
