The State of Great Slave is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working population of 32.213 billion Great Slaveans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The minute government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 7.3%.

The strong Great Slavean economy, worth a remarkable 1,296 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Pizza Delivery, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,253 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Surveillance cameras are banned, the government is avowedly atheist, Great Slave has designated Westminster as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Great Slave in an international press conference. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Great Slave's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Great Slave is ranked 244,912^th in the world and 2^nd in Dominican Republic for Lowest Crime Rates, with 53.49 law-abiding acts per hour.
