The Democratic People's Republic of Slavestate is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Lord Kodos with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 20.757 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Slavestate City. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.

All mothers are allowed six months fully-paid maternity leave, government-run screening operations remove embryos with severe genetic disorders, CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options, and the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Slavestate's national animal is the hog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the credit.

Slavestate is ranked 3rd in USSR and 101st in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 767 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
