The Soviet Socialist Republic of Pridneprovye is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Viktor Reznov with an iron fist, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.853 billion Pridneprovians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kharkiv. The average income tax rate is 89.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pridneprovian economy, worth 495 trillion Russian Roubles 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 major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 128,523 Russian Roubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nations that kill a Pridneprovian can expect a strongly worded letter, school cafeterias serve nothing but protein powder and vitamin supplements, the military patrols the streets in search of possible secessionists, and strategic bombers are being converted into preschools. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pridneprovye's national animal is the Brown Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Eastern Orthodoxy.

Pridneprovye is ranked 67,679^th in the world and 1,016^th in The Communist Bloc for Safest, scoring 96.21 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
