The Union of Soviet States of Slaytania is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Stalinovich with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, state-planned economy, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 23.758 billion Slaytanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of South of Heaven. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Slaytanian economy, worth an astonishing 15,440 trillion Strummers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 649,904 Strummers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, corrective labour camps either end political dissent or kill the dissenters, talkative students are escorted from schools in second-hand prison buses, and citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Slaytania's national animal is the House Giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Stalinism.

Slaytania is ranked 3,214th in the world and 51st in 10000 Islands for Most Cultured, scoring 210 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
