The Socialist Federal Republic of The Kingdom of Sloth is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by King Belphegor with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, rampant corporate plagiarism, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 1.743 billion Kingdom of Slothians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ennui. The average income tax rate is 25.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Kingdom of Slothian economy, worth 54.4 trillion Slacks a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Tourism. 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 31,208 Slacks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, foreign casinos have trouble paying fans who bet on the triumph of the Ennui Sloths against long odds, and phone taps are frequently carried out by the police. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Kingdom of Sloth's national animal is the Sloth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cult of the Idle Hand.

The Kingdom of Sloth is ranked 304,760th in the world and 951st in Carcassonne for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -7.43 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
