The Republic of Slasedle is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, cynical population of 6.168 billion Slasedleans enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.
The tiny, liberal, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Welfare, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.5%.
The thriving Slasedlean economy, worth 397 trillion rubledollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 64,441 rubledollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 221,084 per year while the poor average 13,786, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.
Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Slasedle's national animal is the hawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.
Slasedle is ranked 206,805th in the world and 1,214th in Hispano Germanic Alliance for Smartest Citizens, with 24.99 quips per hour.
