The People's Socialist Republic of New Soviet States of America is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Supreme Soviet Powell with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 13.15 billion Soviets are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leningrad. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Soviet economy, worth a remarkable 1,651 trillion Soviet Dollars 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 125,624 Soviet Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, Supreme Soviet Powell's used car is held together by bumper stickers that support the opposition, people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, and ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Soviet States of America's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

New Soviet States of America is ranked 7,824^th in the world and 134^th in The Communist Bloc for Smartest Citizens, with 103.99 quips per hour.
