The Republic of Greater Stalingrad is a massive, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.88 billion Greater Stalingradians 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 large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 46.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Greater Stalingradian economy, worth 33.3 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, Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, 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 8,577 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military spending recently hit a new high, the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks", Harry Potter books are banned, and getting an autograph has become harder than ever. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Stalingrad's national animal is the bear.

Greater Stalingrad is ranked 282,383^rd in the world and 54^th in Gypsy Lands for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 581.68 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
