The SSR of Vetalia is a massive nation of over 3.7 billion people and the dominant superpower of its planet. Following the successes of the Communist Revolution in 279, the nation has begun an aggressive program of economic development stemming from its use of central planning to coordinate industrial and commercial growth. The nation is active in promoting its ideology worldwide, and the new military buildup has caused concern among other nations, particularly bordering states.
