The Slovak State of Poprad is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.676 billion Popradčania are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Poprad. The average income tax rate is 50.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Popradčan economy, worth 195 trillion Slovak Korunas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,888 Slovak Korunas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, would-be mescaline users often describe a crawling sensation on their skin, planespotters are emigrating in droves, and goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Poprad's national animal is the Shít, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Poprad is ranked 156,860th in the world and 80th in Karma for Largest Populations, with 2.68 billion capita.
