The Footballing Republic of Slembana is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Thomas Vallwick with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.657 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bafilo. The average income tax rate is 88.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Slembanan economy, worth a remarkable 1,799 trillion Diloes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 168,900 Diloes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, the threat of economic apocalypse brings out the best in people, newspaper stories fill several pages with colorful adjectives, and citizens have to dodge their neighbors' drones while getting the morning paper. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, 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 18,701^st in the world and 8^th in Esportiva for Highest Average Incomes, with 168,900.92 Standard Monetary Units.
