The Third Autocratic Kingdom of Soviet Some is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Mark IPlier with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, sprawling nuclear power plants, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.242 billion Someans 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ridgetonne. The average income tax rate is 80.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The very strong Soviet Somean economy, worth 111 trillion Munnies 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 dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is 90,083 Munnies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints, the SSBI Channel Tunnel project is plagued by delays, priceless Maxtopian artwork can often be found in executive bathrooms, and the nation is Ridgefield's leading manufacturer of intricately-patterned sweaters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soviet Some's national animal is the Alien, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Markism.
Soviet Some is ranked 283,966th in the world and 102nd in Ridgefield for Most Ignorant Citizens, with 1.28 missed references per hour.
