The Socialist Republic of Central Slavia is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by Generalissimus Igor Plevňák with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 7.737 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nové Partizánske. The average income tax rate is 100%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing.

Central Slavia's schoolchildren are manufactured into a segregated bunch of soldiers, religious zealots, and computer technicians, the nation leads SLAVIJA in per capita stalking, the people are famous throughout the region for their bleached-white teeth, and priests are being drafted by the church load. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Central Slavia's national animal is the lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is atheism, and its currency is the toliar.

Central Slavia is ranked 1st in SLAVIJA and 86,167th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 13 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
