The Republic of Slavstervia is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 121 million Slavstervians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Slavstervian economy, worth 2.00 trillion Slavstervic Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is 16,520 Slavstervic Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Genetic researchers have been expelled, Harry Potter books are banned, foreign envoys that want to visit Slavstervia now have to navigate real minefields in addition to the political ones, and the government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Slavstervia's national animal is the Sturgeon, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Slavstervia is ranked 232,575th in the world and 354th in UEPU for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 191.63 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
