The Footballing Republic of Slembana is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Thomas Vallwick with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.131 billion Slembanans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bafilo. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Slembanan economy, worth 753 trillion Diloes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. 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 an impressive 146,906 Diloes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Popular sunny beaches always have a cloudy outlook, East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy', couples are discouraged from marrying until they can rank their partner on a scale of one to ten, and orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Slembana's national animal is the Afra Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Football.

Slembana is ranked 304,083rd in the world and 77th in Esportiva for Lowest Crime Rates, with 24.66 law-abiding acts per hour.
