The New Space Communists of Great Red Bears is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Alexander Romanov with an iron fist, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, pith helmet sales, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 21.664 billion Great Red Bearsians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bear's Drinking Voldka. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Great Red Bearsian economy, worth a remarkable 5,135 trillion Vodka Bills a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 237,033 Vodka Bills, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,172,233 per year while the poor average 2,752, a ratio of 789 to 1.

A proud mining community is considering a rebellion after the Capital officially renamed them 'District XII', signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, top-shelf magazines feature risqué centrefold spreads of ladies' wrists, and priests are being drafted by the church load. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Great Red Bears's national animal is the Vodka Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Eastern Orthodox.

Great Red Bears is ranked 285,140^th in the world and 11^th in Tsumonrin for Safest, scoring 5.4 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
