The Armed Republic of Soviet Terran is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by President Fyodor Basargin with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 20.509 billion Русские, 2.233 billion of whom are zombies, are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Education and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vladikosmos. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Soviet economy, worth a remarkable 5,633 trillion GNS a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 274,672 GNS, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,182,976 per year while the poor average 40,692, a ratio of 29.1 to 1.

Exploding toys that leak battery acid are back in the shops after the government declared child safety 'over-rated', diplomats agree to the terms and conditions of peace treaties without reading them, soldiers are equipped with multi-million GN battlesuits, and economists claim no news is good news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Soviet Terran's national animal is the Black Wyvern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Soviet Terran is ranked 268^th in the world and 11^th in The North Pacific for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 122,026.99 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
