The Republic of -Slavia- is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, restrictive gun laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 205 million Slavs are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.1%.

The thriving Slavic economy, worth 12.8 trillion rubles a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Average income is 62,542 rubles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 183,857 per year while the poor average 16,757, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.

Foundling babies rarely make it off the doorsteps they are abandoned on, children are often observed making 'sand angels' in bunkers, one lone government employee can be seen hunting for the elusive stray white dog, and children often explain to their parents that the Mega Ultimate Sword Fist was worth the thousand-ruble charge on their phone bill. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force. -Slavia-'s national animal is the bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

-Slavia- is ranked 100,426th in the world and 835th in Europe for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,440.42 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
