The Federation of Venusian Soviets is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Vladimir Chelomnei with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.847 billion Venusian Soviets are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nowa Warszawa. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Venusian Soviet economy, worth 582 trillion Złoties a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 151,312 Złoties, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination, citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones, billions of Złoties are spent to take high-quality photos of the White Eagle Nebula, and Super Barry Brothers is the most popular video game in the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Venusian Soviets's national animal is the White Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Venusian Soviets is ranked 289,451st in the world and 342nd in The Leftist Assembly for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.37 kickbacks per hour.
