The United Socialist States of Snalland is a titanic, safe nation, notable for its lack of airports, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 12.072 billion Snallanders enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grande Snalland. The average income tax rate is 90.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Snallandian economy, worth 996 trillion Dinars 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 Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Trout Farming. Average income is 82,565 Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Extreme political groups are outlawed, white strait-jackets are the new orange jumpsuits, Leader panders to nontraditional families, and laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Snalland's national animal is the Western Rough-Shelled Snail, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Snalland is ranked 50,715^th in the world and 13^th in Aesica for Largest Populations, with 12.1 billion capita.
