The State of Sbaslo is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 14.462 billion Sbasloans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 70.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Sbasloan economy, worth 220 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 15,219 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is seen to favor traditionalist religions, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, Sbaslo has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Sbaslo in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sbaslo's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sbaslo is ranked 31,930^th in the world and 1^st in Prussian Kingdom for Largest Populations, with 14.5 billion capita.
