The Blighted Holy Skavenate of North Sloughtown Metropolis is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Arch-Sultan 'Doom of Bigtopia' Tayanquol with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.332 billion Sloughtown Skavens are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Spirituality, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while Education and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sloughtown. The average income tax rate is 85.2%.
The frighteningly efficient North Sloughtownite economy, worth a remarkable 1,014 trillion spirits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 190,260 spirits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.
Marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home, the controversial show 'Who Wants to be an Immigrant?' has become wildly popular, mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation, and the populace harbors a fierce hatred of the metric system. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. North Sloughtown Metropolis's national animal is the molerat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Great Holy Atheist Rat.
North Sloughtown Metropolis is ranked 251,123rd in the world and 9,581st in Lazarus for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -7.35 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
