The Soviet Socialist Republics of Vawfiss is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Premier Vladmir Stanislau with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, fear of technology, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.51 billion Soviets 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kolmagrad. The average income tax rate is 53.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Vawfissian economy, worth a remarkable 1,076 trillion Scorts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 165,433 Scorts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance, legislators toe the party line lest the Sergeant-at-Arms decide to conduct "truncheon practice" on the backbench, tax evaders are regularly visited by agents of the Vawfiss Blood Tithe, and emergency services don't respond to trailer park fires. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vawfiss's national animal is the Lynx, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Vawfiss is ranked 59,479^th in the world and 14^th in Tarkin for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,462.82 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
