The People's Republic of The Violet Soviet Socialist Republic is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Natasha Stalin with an iron fist, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 886 million Soviet Republicans 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Icydawn. The average income tax rate is 76.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Violet economy, worth 34.5 trillion Emeralds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 38,928 Emeralds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames, the line of people waiting for a visa interview in front of foreign embassies is typically a mile long, squeaky high prepubescent voices recite the patriotic poem "Hail to The Leader!" before each meal, and Natasha Stalin has been known to threaten dissenting citizens with a machine gun at press conferences. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Violet Soviet Socialist Republic's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

The Violet Soviet Socialist Republic is ranked 54,296^th in the world and 1,429^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,870.16 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
