The United Socialist States of Slavenka is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 563 million Slavenkans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Slavenka City. The average income tax rate is 82.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Slavenkan economy, worth 36.9 trillion Slavenkan Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is 65,531 Slavenkan Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All writing must pass a censorship board before being allowed on the shelves, parents dread their examinations more than their children, the dwindling faithful in the nation make expensive pilgrimages to the remaining places of worship, and pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Slavenka's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Slavenka is ranked 196,222^nd in the world and 3^rd in The Global Democratic Union for Most Armed, with 0.22 Weapons Per Person.
