The United Socialist States of KCCCP 253 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 10.361 billion KCCCP 253ians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 48.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant KCCCP 253ian economy, worth 116 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, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Tourism, Cheese Exports, 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 11,279 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. KCCCP 253's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

KCCCP 253 is ranked 102,685^th in the world and 1^st in Villa Bunicken de Florence for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.56 law-abiding acts per hour.
