The Free Land of Slate adieu is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 953 million Slate adieuans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Messi. The average income tax rate is 16.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Slate adieuan economy, worth 82.3 trillion rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 86,407 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Tourist operators promise visitors tours of live burning shipwrecks and plane crash sites, the nation is known as the cheapskates of Europe, there's never enough space in space, and every spring railroad foundations erode to reveal human remains. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Slate adieu's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Slate adieu is ranked 35,261^st in the world and 457^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 195.9 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
