The United Socialist States of Snalland is a titanic, genial nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, digital currency, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 12.018 billion Snallanders are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grande Snalland. The average income tax rate is 90.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Snallandian economy, worth 969 trillion Dinars 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 Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Trout Farming. Average income is 80,682 Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Extreme political groups are outlawed, white strait-jackets are the new orange jumpsuits, Leader panders to nontraditional families, and laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Snalland's national animal is the Western Rough-Shelled Snail, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Snalland is ranked 55,717^th in the world and 53^rd in Aesica for Most Developed, scoring 75.81 on the Human Development Index.
