The Footballing Republic of Slembana is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Thomas Vallwick with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, rampant corporate plagiarism, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.619 billion Slembanans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bafilo. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Slembanan economy, worth a remarkable 1,033 trillion Diloes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 156,133 Diloes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, astronauts take one small step for Slembana and one giant step backward from confrontation, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, and drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Slembana's national animal is the Afra Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Football.

Slembana is ranked 310,004^th in the world and 69^th in Esportiva for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -17.15 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
