The Soviet Satellite State of Siegrune is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Generalsekretär Erik Honacker with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, vat-grown people, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 24.399 billion communist thralls 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of East Berlin. The average income tax rate is 76.6%.

The frighteningly efficient communist economy, worth a remarkable 6,595 trillion bananas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 270,331 bananas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Nude art is becoming wildly popular, quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, there's a bright dawn ahead for Siegrune, and the police crack down on tax evaders without mercy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Siegrune's national animal is the spring-gun, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Marxxxism.

Siegrune is ranked 39,303^rd in the world and 587^th in The East Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 5,052.19 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
