The People's Republic of Slavnyya is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 537 million Slavnyyans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mostagorod. The average income tax rate is 72.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Slavnyyan economy, worth 26.7 trillion Ryubyls a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,766 Ryubyls, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Video evidence of cruel animal experiments tends to be of poor quality, excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast, and public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Slavnyya's national animal is the Tsibiri Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Slavnyya is ranked 82,784^th in the world and 123^rd in The Kodiak Republic for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,080.9 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
