The Hammer Time of Sledge- is a mammoth, safe nation, remarkable for its public floggings, unlimited-speed roads, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, cynical population of 5.815 billion Sledge-ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 27.4%.

The very strong Sledge-ian economy, worth 394 trillion golds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,777 golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Police shut down children's lemonade stands for being "unsavory street food", surrogate mothers are encouraged to refer to their wombs as 'rental space', the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, and a PhD just ain't what it used to be. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sledge-'s national animal is the dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Sledge- is ranked 69,530^th in the world and 39^th in The Blades for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 49,206.3 Standard Monetary Units.
