The People's Republic of Slonskovia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.165 billion Slonskovians 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 Welfare, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of La Providence Capitole. The average income tax rate is 78.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Slonskovian economy, worth 18.7 trillion Silver Pens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 5,916 Silver Pens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, immigrants who don't like the taste of Slonskovian Turnip Chips are immediately deported, the government pours millions of Silver Pens into rehabilitation programs annually, and all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of La Providence Capitole. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Slonskovia's national animal is the Mocking Jay, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Slonskovia is ranked 267,076th in the world and 5,856th in The North Pacific for Most Stationary, with 11.96458956488 days.
