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

The Democratic Republic of Slodtai Mar is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Atin with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, unlimited-speed roads, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 1.465 billion Slodtai Marians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tipotropica. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Slodtai Marian economy, worth 180 trillion Rupees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 123,462 Rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Weapons are only sold to foreign governments that are legitimate enough to not bounce the cheque, the government's new "quiet competence" initiative has supporters and detractors alike reeling in confusion, the government is more interested in identifying problems than fixing them, and teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Slodtai Mar's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Slodtai Mar is ranked 13,675^th in the world and 4^th in Vibonia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 346.2 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
