The Republic of Slofa is a huge, orderly nation, ruled by Aymeric with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, avant-garde cinema, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 879 million Slofans 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 relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of slofacity. The average income tax rate is 21.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Slofan economy, worth 104 trillion currencies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 118,736 currencies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Burning twigs to keep warm while lost in the wild is now a felony, power to the people comes from the barrel of a gun, museums occasionally burn priceless artifacts in order to intimidate foreign curators, and Slofa's first free elections in recent memory have been successfully concluded. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Slofa's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Slofa is ranked 79,827^th in the world and 498^th in 10000 Islands for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,654.54 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
