Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The United-Federation of Slokais Islands is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Joseph Chavez with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, irreverence towards religion, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.147 billion Slokaisians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Liverpool. The average income tax rate is 89.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Slokais Islander economy, worth 781 trillion markons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is 85,443 markons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

National parks have long lines of different gender-specific 'Porta-Pottys', it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, and public intoxication has decreased ever since fraternities were banned. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Slokais Islands's national animal is the Red Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Slokais Islands is ranked 26,552^nd in the world and 51^st in International Democratic Union for Most Developed, scoring 77.69 on the Human Development Index.
