A Slanted Black Stripe was Commended by Security Council Resolution # 119

The Mystery of A Slanted Black Stripe is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by The Reluctant Delegate with an even hand, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 33.754 billion Slantees 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, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Francisco. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Slanted Black Stripean economy, worth a remarkable 6,219 trillion stripenotes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 184,258 stripenotes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Recognizing the Slanted Black Stripean flag qualifies you for citizenship, professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials, foreign policy is to avoid standing up to bullies, and power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky. Crime is totally unknown. A Slanted Black Stripe's national animal is the zebra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is All are Welcome.

A Slanted Black Stripe is ranked 293,576th in the world and 4,800th in The East Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -267.22 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
