The Your Local Socialist of Planetary Soviet Socialist Republics is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by General Secretary Matvei Novikov with an iron fist, and renowned for its teetotalling pirates, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.404 billion Soviets are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moscow. The average income tax rate is 92.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Soviet economy, worth a remarkable 1,098 trillion Tarkovsky Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 171,542 Tarkovsky Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

A common response to government PSAs is "well, DUH, obviously", left-wing militias train children how to properly burn down banks, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and officer recruitment and police brutality have reached an all-time high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Planetary Soviet Socialist Republics's national animal is the Double-headed Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Planetary Soviet Socialist Republics is ranked 251,640^th in the world and 3,688^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -5.01 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
