Video games have been around long enough to be regarded as an artform alongside film and literature by the mainstream.

Video games, while recognized for a degree of training capability for members of the Armed Forces, have been ruled as potentially harmful to children under age eighteen. However, pre-military youth programs and paramilitary organizations are granted waivers. A regulatory body screens and rates all new game content for level of appropriate release.

SHH! Don't tell the civilians. Our water is so full of drugs and chemicals for the public good that it qualifies as a chemical weapon. I blame previous coalition governments and their attempts at instigating socialism.

We use torture regularly on capital criminals, terrorist, and pirates. Then we execute them.

We televise torture and debauchery against criminals on Prime Time TV. "Whack a murderer" is the #1 show on all GEAR 1 Federation broadcast networks, ever. "Dateline GBC: To Catch A Pedophile" and "Life as a Badass Bounty Hunter" rank closely behind. Serves as an awesome deterrent to crime.

The natives of our nation are known as timelords, they have mated with human explorers, and we have Timemachines.

Our people are a bunch of dirty hippies. All we do is just get high all day, and have orgies. Occasionally we stumble across our vast nation in a psychedelic pilgrimage.

Hippies are severely discriminated, and almost wholly hated, by the government and people of New Kvenland alike.

Soviet Klaec is a One-Party State that advocates Civil Rights to an extreme level, while allowing absolutely NO Political Dissidence outside of the straight-forward National-Net Government Website that allows users to freely express their political opinions without fear (So long as their views do not advocate for violence within the country). This is paired with the fact that the government is still waging a war against a small coalition of Capitalist Hardliner Insurgents that has been going on for decades, with the Capitalists slowly but surely facing defeat, with only a few Capitalist Strongholds left in the North-Western Desert Mountains.

Edit:

We tax narcotics at 95%

All Narcotics with the exception of Government-Grown Cannabis are outlawed, with possession of small amounts being punishable by 6 months internment in a Regulated Government Labor Camp, and possession of large amounts deemed as being intended for distribution being punished by 5 - 15 years in a Regulated Government Labor Camp.
