The Monarchy of Slaca is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Bob with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.45 billion Slacans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Antel. The average income tax rate is 92.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Slacan economy, worth 660 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 191,257 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, politicians spend more time in courtrooms than in Parliament, and travel bureaus double as recruiting centers for national intelligence agencies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Slaca's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Secular.

Slaca is ranked 4,320^th in the world and 184^th in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 95.6 on the Human Development Index.
