The County of Sligo is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Ciarán Hayes with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 25.245 billion Sligonians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The medium-sized, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sligo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.1%.

The very strong Sligonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,112 trillion punts a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 44,060 punts, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 134,597 per year while the poor average 11,179, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, Roman Catholicism has been named as Sligo's national religion, Sligo has designated Sligo as its capital city, and Ciarán Hayes has just been declared ruler of Sligo in an international press conference. Crime is moderate. Sligo's national animal is the leprechaun, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Sligo is ranked 227,063^rd in the world and 10^th in Irish Lands for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring zero on the Hickory Productivity Index.
