The Mighty Foundation of Concrete Slab is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Alistair Stonesworth with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, digital currency, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 5.411 billion Concrte Slabians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stone City. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Concrete Slabian economy, worth a remarkable 1,231 trillion Stones a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 227,508 Stones, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The entire entry for Concrete Slab in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', a degree of self-hatred is vital for a future in politics, door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes', and the Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Concrete Slab's national animal is the Red Panda, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
