The Scritchy Furpile of Slys Paws is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Sly with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, smutty television, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 23.72 billion Slys Pawsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Environment. The income tax rate is 100%.

The enormous but underdeveloped Slys Pawsian economy, worth a remarkable 2,335 trillion champies a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Tourism industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 98,458 champies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Posters on 'Slys Pawsian Values' advise against being proud of Slys Paws, the government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers, a third of Slys Pawsians are e-certified CEOs, and wildlife have trouble navigating the electric fences surrounding national forests. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Slys Paws's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Slys Paws is ranked 169,428^th in the world and 6,326^th in The East Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -1549.49 on the Hayek Index.
