The Union of Soviet States of Slaytania is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Stalinovich with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 19.939 billion Slaytanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of South of Heaven. The average income tax rate is 99.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Slaytanian economy, worth an astonishing 12,625 trillion Strummers a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is a breathtaking 633,186 Strummers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, tourists avoid using the nation's bugged phones and monitored internet, chalkboards are replaced with billboards in the classroom, and earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Slaytania's national animal is the House Giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Stalinism.

Slaytania is ranked 314^th in the world and 6^th in 10000 Islands for Smartest Citizens, with 327.04 quips per hour.
