The People's Republic of Slobozhanschyna is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 343 million Slobozhancy 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Poltava. The average income tax rate is 80.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Slobozhansky economy, worth 2.22 trillion Griv'nas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Cheese Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 6,472 Griv'nas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People on the brink of death are put through unwanted and stressful procedures, the alien invasion siren sounds eerily like a UFO, ship captains always order a return to port at the slightest sign of rain, and the government invades its allies more than its enemies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Slobozhanschyna's national animal is the Orc, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Slobozhanschyna is ranked 342,250th in the world and 92nd in The Internationale for Smartest Citizens, with 0.71 quips per hour.
