The Federative Soviet Republic of Third Soviet Union is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Politburo with an iron fist, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, compulsory gun ownership, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 15.516 billion Soviets are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moscow. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Soviet economy, worth a remarkable 5,708 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. 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 an amazing 367,910 Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Jaw strain is an increasingly common ailment, nuclear physics is the most popular course at university, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Third Soviet Union's national animal is the Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Third Soviet Union is ranked 48,405^th in the world and 74^th in Starlight for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,932.59 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
