The Armed Republic of Soviet Terran is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Fyodor Vladimirovich Gusarov with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 16.396 billion Русские have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Education and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vladikosmos. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Soviet economy, worth a remarkable 4,075 trillion GNS a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 248,592 GNS, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 852,864 per year while the poor average 53,181, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

The police use sound cannons and mortars to deal with loud parties, people often get liposuction to reduce their air fares, the government violently suppresses separatist movements, and the nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Soviet Terran's national animal is the Black Wyvern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Soviet Terran is ranked 85,748^th in the world and 1,443^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 4,317.17 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
