The Federal Republic of Slonful is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 11.57 billion Slonfulians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 71.0%.

The all-consuming Slonfulian economy, worth 981 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 84,791 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Purported secret military bases are dismissed by Leader to be highly-advanced toilet factories, the government is spending millions on 'trust campaigns' in an effort to win back the public's support, busy commuters no longer hear the cries of "I want some more!" on the nation's streets, and behind every local dictator is a Slonfulian advisor whispering in their ear. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Slonful's national animal is the penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Slonful is ranked 152,329^th in the world and 3,837^th in The East Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,363.88 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
