The Mighty Foundation of Concrete Slab is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Alistair Stonesworth with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, aversion to nipples, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 9.795 billion Concrte Slabians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal 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 96.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Concrete Slabian economy, worth a remarkable 2,487 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 253,946 Stones, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, the government is spending billions of taxpayer Stones to support "struggling" industries, the Concrete Slab Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, and government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities. Crime is totally unknown. Concrete Slab's national animal is the Red Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Concrete Slab is ranked 3,472^nd in the world and 81^st in the South Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 11,393.92 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
