The Allied States of Soviscosia is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.831 billion Soviscosians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 48.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Soviscosian economy, worth 35.0 trillion rubles 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, Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. 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 3,959 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voting is voluntary, the death penalty has been reintroduced, gambling is outlawed, and badminton was recently banned due to 'unacceptable violence' inherent to the game. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soviscosia's national animal is the lion.

Soviscosia is ranked 125,854^th in the world and 22^nd in Altino for Most Primitive, scoring -38.73 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
