The Democratic Republic of Slimretta is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 209 million Slimrettans, 199 million of whom are zombies, enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 22.7%.

The Slimrettan economy, worth 23.1 trillion pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 61,241 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state, every week is blindness awareness week, all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Slimretta City, and the words guilty and evidence have left the Slimrettan lexicon. Crime is totally unknown. Slimretta's national animal is the Bulldog.

Slimretta is ranked 74,363^rd in the world and 61^st in Benigtopia for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 476.55 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
