The Karantanija of Slovanov is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Črtomir with an even hand, and remarkable for its triple-decker prams, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 10.807 billion Karantanci have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Krnski grad. The average income tax rate is 10.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Karantanec economy, worth a remarkable 2,029 trillion Karantanecs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 187,809 Karantanecs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Črtomir's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader, at customs baggage gets an x-ray and female travelers get an ultrasound, people take government jobs for the frequent flier miles, and national surveys report that bellies are getting fuller while heads are getting emptier. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Slovanov's national animal is the Karantanski panter, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Poganstvo.

Slovanov is ranked 51,119^th in the world and 94^th in Europe for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 102.19 on the Hayek Index.
