The Panslavic state of Union of Slavia is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 13.731 billion Slavians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Slavian economy, worth 229 trillion Lippoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 16,744 Lippoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Union of Slavia's national animal is the Lipomir, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Union of Slavia is ranked 308,011^th in the world and 16^th in Slavia for Highest Average Incomes, with 16,744.16 Standard Monetary Units.
