Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Jackbooted Autocracy of Lackluster sloths is a massive, safe nation, ruled by The Great Slovenly One with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.947 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lassitude. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Woodchip Exports.

Online tourism reviews of Lackluster sloths are suspiciously positive and amazingly similar, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, newspapers cannot report anything about politicians without their explicit consent, and the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Lackluster sloths's national animal is the banana slug, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Phlegm, and its currency is the Turd.

Lackluster sloths is ranked 188th in The Alliance of Dictators and 128,102nd in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -79 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
