The People's Confederacy of Slackertown is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by President with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 5.985 billion Southerners are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Richmond. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Slackertownian economy, worth a remarkable 1,159 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 193,793 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Proper policy proposals prerequire professional peer-reviewed papers, schoolchildren on field trips are asked what torture means to them, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and religious people are committed to mental institutions for treatment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Slackertown's national animal is the Robot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Protestant.

Slackertown is ranked 329,964^th in the world and 115^th in Anarchy for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -20.05 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
