The Meme Republic of Slugville is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.374 billion Slugvilleans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Slugtopia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Slugvillean economy, worth 199 trillion Slugs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 145,477 Slugs, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.
The police go to great efforts to seize contraband favored by politicians on the police oversight committee, airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, schoolchildren must pass a six-month Ethics and Safety Committee Assessment before they are allowed to mix baking soda and vinegar, and health inspectors are seen eating black truffle fondue with their bottled water. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Slugville's national animal is the Snail, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Slugville is a new member on the forums and they are beginning to get involved in the region! We are really excited to see what they will get up to in the future!
