The Proletarian Dictatorship of Old Vyanka is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Vladimir Lenin with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.392 billion Old Vyankans 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, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Volga City. The average income tax rate is 99.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Old Vyankan economy, worth a remarkable 1,637 trillion Labour Vouchers 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 Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 221,521 Labour Vouchers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, the canal flows through the land like a twisty turny thing, fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate, and the OVBI Channel Tunnel project is plagued by delays. Crime is totally unknown. Old Vyanka's national animal is the Boar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Old Vyanka is ranked 75,680^th in the world and 300^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Influential, scoring 458 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
