The Community of Slime Zone is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.538 billion Slime Zoneans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jellyburg. The average income tax rate is 71.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Slime Zonean economy, worth 72.1 trillion blobs 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 46,852 blobs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In a baffling press conference Leader proudly dismantled a broken door, bike rage is all the rage, popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, and the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Jellyburg Times is sold out. Crime is totally unknown. Slime Zone's national animal is the jellyfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Slime Zone is ranked 45,715^th in the world and 230^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,695.72 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
