The Republic of Slattern is a mammoth, safe nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, enforced nudity, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 8.871 billion Slatternians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 64.4%.

The strong Slatternian economy, worth 430 trillion blue bloods a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,522 blue bloods, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects, and out-of-work actors say they can't complain. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Slattern's national animal is the kaiju, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Slattern is ranked 306,999^th in the world and 3,728^th in Remembrance for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -8.94 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
