The Your Local Communist of Planetary Soviet Socialist Republics is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, ritual sacrifices, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 1.298 billion Soviets are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moscow. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.6%.

The all-consuming Soviet economy, worth 142 trillion Soviet Credits 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 Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 110,000 Soviet Credits, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

Divorce is illegal, Catherine Gratwick's campaign support is considered seminal, Harry Potter books are banned, and children asking questions about science are referred to relevant sections in religious texts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Planetary Soviet Socialist Republics's national animal is the Double-headed Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Planetary Soviet Socialist Republics is ranked 269,110^th in the world and 5,924^th in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 75.51 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
