The Cohorse union member state of The Soviet States of Europe is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Francesko IX with a fair hand, and notable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 4.677 billion Soviets 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Philippe. The average income tax rate is 84.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Sovietic economy, worth 506 trillion Eurodubloes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,191 Eurodubloes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Costumed characters wearing Maxtopian Grass leaves remind citizens that the government now sells the green stuff, ample hospital parking is half-filled by the luxury cars of hospital managers, the nation is noticeably more cheerful on Tuesdays, and truck drivers turn their engines off and coast whenever they're going downhill. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Soviet States of Europe's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

The Soviet States of Europe is ranked 11,711^th in the world and 650^th in The North Pacific for Most Popular Tourist Destinations, with 1,611.36 Tourists Per Hour.
