The United Socialist States of Eastern European Federation is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Federations Assembly with an even hand, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed population of 2.27 billion Eastern Europeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hversk. The average income tax rate is 83.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Eastern European economy, worth 225 trillion Lens 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is 99,223 Lens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', a five-year-old and a convicted terrorist can sit alongside one another in jury service, lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs, and passwords to nuclear codes must now contain upper and lower case characters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eastern European Federation's national animal is the Pochita, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eastern European Federation is ranked 25,793^rd in the world and 382^nd in The Communist Bloc for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 241.9 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
