The Dictatorship of Sovietic Ukraine is a small, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 29 million Sovietic Ukraineans 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 77.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Sovietic Ukrainean economy, worth 439 billion soviet rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 15,148 soviet rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Commuters are denied boarding for attempting to bring packed lunches onto trains, the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, and kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sovietic Ukraine's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sovietic Ukraine is ranked 161,515^th in the world and 12^th in Soviet Commonwealth for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,234.1 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
