The United People's Communes of Sovtaskar is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by The Sovtaskar Council with an even hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, daily referendums, and national health service. The compassionate, cheerful population of 6.367 billion Sovtaskarians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

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 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Sovtaskarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,000 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 157,160 Sovtaskar coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diplomatic missions are often mistaken as declarations of war, the nation's black ops are starting to get on people's nerves, handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, and dissing one's former country is a prerequisite to apply for Sovtaskarian citizenship. 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 2,367^th in the world and 64^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Developed, scoring 97.8 on the Human Development Index.
