The Union of Soviet States of Slaytania is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Stalinovich with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, parental licensing program, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 25.06 billion Slaytanians 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 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 income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Slaytanian economy, worth an astonishing 16,204 trillion Strummers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 646,625 Strummers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's not just poseurs who wear oversized sound-cancelling headphones as they walk the city streets, binoculars sales are at an all-time high, ride-sharing often involves some passengers sitting on the roof rack, and construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway. 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 310,519th in the world and 12,810th in Lazarus for Most Ignorant Citizens, with 0.37 missed references per hour.
