Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Federation of Srboslavija is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Radovan Mladic with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed population of 13.527 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Social Equality and the Environment receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beogreb. The average income tax rate is 91%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

The wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, the roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril, people are arrested for looking too sternly at whales, and the Siptar is believed to be extinct. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Srboslavija's national animal is the Siptar, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Roman Orthodox, and its currency is the Dinar.

Srboslavija is ranked 3rd in SLAVIJA and 3,534th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 6 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
