The Overlordship of Slatavia is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by The Son of The Great One with an iron fist, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, smutty television, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.255 billion Slatavians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Slatavus Capitala. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Slatavian economy, worth 928 trillion Uranium Bars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 285,330 Uranium Bars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,524,948 per year while the poor average 4,542, a ratio of 555 to 1.

Only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations, puppies given out free in marketing promotions are often tossed straight into the trash, asking 'a penny for your thoughts?' draws law enforcement response, and middle management darts to the playground after board meetings. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Slatavia's national animal is the Slatavian Crocodile, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Bateism.

Slatavia is ranked 1,808th in the world and 2nd in The Outskirts for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 194,595.4 Standard Monetary Units.
