“Peace is Paid With War”

The Kingdom of Slazenagara is a massive, safe nation, ruled by King Kovy CCXII with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed population of 1.318 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Religion & Spirituality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ruslov. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Book Publishing and Soda Sales.

Red Cross demand for body bags are rising while sutures are decreasing, reports of attacks by bright purple sixty-foot high spiders have recently shot up, a crusade against barbaric religious practices has begun, and the military struggles with recruitment. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Slazenagara's national animal is the Wild Dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Kovianity, and its currency is the Slazan.

Slazenagara is ranked 39th in the region and 25,956th in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
