The Oppressed Peoples of Lower Slobbovia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Comrade Nogoodnik with an iron fist, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.464 billion Lower Slobbovians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Slivovitz. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Lower Slobbovian economy, worth a remarkable 2,521 trillion Plastic Rasbuckniks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 297,933 Plastic Rasbuckniks, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

A niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, getting a blood transfusion from a Lower Slobbovian entitles a foreigner to citizenship, the fattest folk in Lower Slobbovia look to be the happiest ones, and the government's giant servers are often used as a tourist trap. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lower Slobbovia's national animal is the Russian Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Equity Amongst the Masses.

Lower Slobbovia is ranked 17,631st in the world and 5th in The Embassy for Most Secular, with 70.01 Atheism Rate.
