The Soviet Socialist Union of Sorianora is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Joseph Stalin II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.581 billion Soviets are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moskva. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Soviet economy, worth a remarkable 1,856 trillion Soviet Rubles a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 405,326 Soviet Rubles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,383,487 per year while the poor average 87,383, a ratio of 15.8 to 1.

Historic buildings are being demolished to allow for road-widening in the city centre, rumour has it Joseph Stalin II needs a calculator to multiply ten by ten, suspicious locals close their doors leaving tourists to suffer the elements by themselves, and foreign governments are looking into weaponizing the infamous Soviet bee. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sorianora's national animal is the Russian Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is State Secularism.

Sorianora is ranked 463^rd in the world and 1^st in Callista for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 115,533.36 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
