The Armed Republic of Soviet Terran is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Fyodor Vladimirovich Gusarov with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, frequent executions, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 15.189 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 relatively small government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vladikosmos. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Soviet economy, worth a remarkable 3,868 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 254,663 GNS, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 879,706 per year while the poor average 53,917, a ratio of 16.3 to 1.

Code enforcement officers circle wealthy Русские like vultures, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, ships are encouraged to deliberately run aground onto Soviet beaches, and the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Vladikosmos Times is sold out. 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 286,751^st in the world and 6,158^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -16.31 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
