The Federation of Donetuvan SSR

“For an Improved Present and a Brighter Future”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Federation of Donetuvan SSR is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Nyuk Nodge with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 9.459 billion Donetuvans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of SimCity 2000. The average income tax rate is 83.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Donetuvan SSRian economy, worth 471 trillion Marks 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 Tourism and Cheese Exports. Average income is 49,892 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, gay hospital patients are labelled with a pink triangle to alert staff of their substandard blood, every workday begins with group therapy, and Donetuvans believe manners maketh the leader. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Donetuvan SSR's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Donetuvan SSR is ranked 29,709^th in the world and 2^nd in The Socialist Syndicalist Union for Lowest Crime Rates, with 82.91 law-abiding acts per hour.
