The Armed Republic of Schlammspringer is a large, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 140 million Schlammspringerians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.0%.

The powerhouse Schlammspringerian economy, worth 11.6 trillion Schlammiges Golds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Gambling, and Retail. Average income is 83,083 Schlammiges Golds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 394,203 per year while the poor average 10,333, a ratio of 38.1 to 1.

Teenage girls worry that they'll be unpopular if their skirts aren't short enough, the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, and the nation is in perpetual campaign mode. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Schlammspringer's national animal is the Schlammspringer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Schlammspringer is ranked 317,460^th in the world and 6^th in Tera Marina for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -5.48 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
