The Soviet Socialist Republic of Luganskaya is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Comrade Romanov with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.42 billion Luganskayans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lugansk. The average income tax rate is 66.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Luganskayan economy, worth a remarkable 1,413 trillion rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 167,874 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, top government officials are seen nervously grocery shopping among the general public, Luganskayans caught jaywalking often have their houses seized by the police, and acrimonious legal battles result during divorce proceedings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Luganskaya's national animal is the bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Russian Orthodox Christianity.

Luganskaya is ranked 228,480^th in the world and 7^th in The Maoist Communist Party for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.55 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
