The United Socialist States of Soviet State of Covernant is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Head Secretary of State with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.005 billion Covernantians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vanguard. The average income tax rate is 91.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Covernantian economy, worth 743 trillion Lenins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 148,470 Lenins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

No one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed, where there's smoke there's the Covernantian Forestry Department, claims of miracles are met with calls to eradicate religion as superstitious nonsense, and commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soviet State of Covernant's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Soviet State of Covernant is ranked 176,103^rd in the world and 449^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 78.32 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
