The Nation of New Slatos is a massive, safe nation, ruled by God with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.338 billion Slats are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Administration, with Healthcare, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arco. The average income tax rate is 35.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Slat economy, worth 119 trillion Tosias a year, is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,310 Tosias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation leads UEPU for unlikely accidents and truffle consumption, adverts proclaim it has to be healthy if the Mornay uses hand-grated Gallopavian Gruyère, the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Bear Dung" has been declared a national treasure, and children who can't memorize their multiplication tables are sent to the mines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New Slatos's national animal is the Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

New Slatos is ranked 32,536^th in the world and 20^th in UEPU for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 6,505.93 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
