The Sultanate of SOVIETrules is a large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its smutty television, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 170 million SOVIETS 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 Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 70.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The SOVIET economy, worth 11.2 trillion marks 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 Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is 65,991 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Babies are a small but significant export, the government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, people who eat pizza with lactase supplements are arrested by the flavour police, and people across the world seek to be healthier by eliminating carbs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SOVIETrules's national animal is the Gorilla, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

SOVIETrules is ranked 256,278^th in the world and 334^th in Starlight for Most Devout, with 12.77 prayers per hour.
