The People's Confederacy of Slackertown is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by President with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and daily referendums. The compassionate, cheerful population of 6.026 billion Southerners are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Richmond. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Slackertownian economy, worth a remarkable 1,174 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 194,919 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voters must decide whether to go number one or number two, jollity-related fatalities are on the increase, students memorise knock-knock jokes for their mandatory twice-a-term Comedy Examinations, and the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Slackertown's national animal is the Robot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Protestant.

Slackertown is ranked 6,393^rd in the world and 12^th in Anarchy for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 15,227.89 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
