The Supine Socialist Slothland of Maowi is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Josef Slothlin with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, ban on automobiles, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 8.474 billion Maowese hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bradypus City. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Maowese economy, worth a remarkable 1,172 trillion toenails a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 138,359 toenails, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

If they thought anyone would listen the older generation would likely say that nobody listens to them any more, Josef Slothlin is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, the needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead, and Maowese refer to transgender people with insults instead of pronouns. Crime is totally unknown. Maowi's national animal is the sloth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Maowi is ranked 19,776^th in the world and 155^th in Europeia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 84.26 law-abiding acts per hour.
