The Toucan of Sloterplas is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning tiger population. The hard-nosed population of 30.426 billion Sloterplasians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 38.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Sloterplasian economy, worth 969 trillion gifts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,873 gifts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Skateparks can be found in every city, Sloterplas successfully hosted the Amsterdam Olympics, and scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied tiger. Crime is totally unknown. Sloterplas's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sloterplas is ranked 169,603^rd in the world and 3^rd in Amsterdam for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 291.39 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
