The Principality of Slurpee is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.21 billion Slurpeeans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 68.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Slurpeean economy, worth 98.6 trillion Syrups a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,498 Syrups, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government airlifts sacrificial lambs, buildings are experiencing some new ten-ants, it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, and advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Slurpee's national animal is the Noid, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Slurpee is ranked 33,623^rd in the world and 1,764^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 77 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
