The Soviet Socialist Union of Sorianora is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Joseph Stalin II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, avant-garde cinema, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.333 billion Soviets are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moskva. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Soviet economy, worth a remarkable 1,751 trillion Soviet Rubles a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 404,284 Soviet Rubles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,389,381 per year while the poor average 86,265, a ratio of 16.1 to 1.

One year's corporation tax from three international megacorporations has funded one dozen shiny black pencils for Joseph Stalin II's office, the government is funding experimental battery technology while the power grid continues to crumble, any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, and tourists are denied entry because of a distant relative married to a Lilliputian. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sorianora's national animal is the Russian Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is State Secularism.

Sorianora is ranked 1,176^th in the world and 2^nd in Callista for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 1.39 million Standard Monetary Units.
