The United Socialist States of Sakotka is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 124 million Chukots 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 76.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Chukot economy, worth 1.42 trillion Chukot Rubles 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 Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration and Retail. Average income is 11,417 Chukot Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, police wait behind troop deployments in order to shoot deserters, a nickname of "Doctor Death" probably indicates a decorated war hero, and government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sakotka's national animal is the Polar Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sakotka is ranked 82,028th in the world and 67th in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Nicest Citizens, with 15.51 average smiles per day.
