The Federation of Slistopia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 257 million Slistopians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 14.7%.

The strong Slistopian economy, worth 14.7 trillion Slistopian Emeralds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Gambling, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 57,289 Slistopian Emeralds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Giant beards and handlebar moustaches are increasingly popular, carrots are orange, apples are red and food waste is increasing, the disabled are forced to undergo an MRI scan every time they pick up their benefit payments, and the law forbids arson, murder, and low-quality cheese. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Slistopia's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Slistopia is ranked 17,962^nd in the world and 25^th in Philosophers for Safest, scoring 115.04 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
