The Federation of Slistopia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 324 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 19.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Slistopian economy, worth 17.0 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 52,341 Slistopian Emeralds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 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 161,511^th in the world and 119^th in Philosophers for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 60.57 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
