The Free Land of Sloap is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working population of 2.668 billion Sloapians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Basal. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Sloapian economy, worth 260 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 97,720 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 279,779 per year while the poor average 27,171, a ratio of 10.3 to 1.
Park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets, the latest political memes depict President as an overly-choreographed robot, there's often a little nagging voice suggesting that parents aren't keeping their kids safe, and it's illegal to be caught on tape. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sloap's national animal is the emu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Sloap is ranked 21,887th in the world and 321st in the West Pacific for Most Secular, with 51.31 Atheism Rate.
