The Republic of Slip is a mammoth, pleasant nation, renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 7.947 billion Slipians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 14.5%.

The strong Slipian economy, worth 493 trillion pantos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,077 pantos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Biker gangs and fashionistas are converting to Violetism en masse, women don't report crimes to the emergency services for fear of being arrested, a handful of megacorporations own every "craft brewery" in the nation, and newly-peaceful nations are forced to use assault rifles as farming tools due to a lack of funds for purchasing anything else. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Slip's national animal is the squirrel, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Slip is ranked 228,909^th in the world and 248^th in Lightyears Away for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,678.85 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
