The United Socialist States of NLKP is a mammoth, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 5.488 billion NLKPians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 42.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant NLKPian economy, worth 48.9 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 Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Gambling. 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 8,906 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has nearly as many history museums as NLKPians, military spending recently hit a new high, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, and surveillance cameras are banned. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NLKP's national animal is the bear.

NLKP is ranked 311,036^th in the world and 1^st in estania for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -8.77 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
