The Empire of Slashdot is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 13.238 billion Slashdotians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, with Healthcare, Education, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.6%.

The very strong Slashdotian economy, worth 640 trillion Minoan tala a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 48,369 Minoan tala, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Slashdot has designated Slashdot City as its capital city and a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Slashdot's national animal is the little owl, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Slashdot is ranked 245,049^th in the world and 1^st in The Internet for Lowest Crime Rates, with 53.46 law-abiding acts per hour.
