The Empire of Slithen is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by The Emperor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 22.799 billion Slithenians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zank-Amur. The average income tax rate is 93.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Slithenian economy, worth a remarkable 5,863 trillion Virts a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 257,198 Virts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Bored politicians often entertain themselves with games of Simon during important votes, a primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world, the nation's youth would rather watch paint dry than the news, and lending money has become a major liability. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Slithen's national animal is the Zaguya Raptor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Slithen is ranked 129,064th in the world and 49th in Equilism for Most Stationary, with 256.88311337248 days.
