The Republic of The Sloan Ranger is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Tonto with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.479 billion Sloan Rangerians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tonto. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Sloan Rangerian economy, worth a remarkable 3,813 trillion Set Squares a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 206,395 Set Squares, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Sloan Rangerian husbands are dead good at fathering kids, students who refuse to pray are expelled from school, customer satisfaction with online delivery services is at an all time high, and property owners are terrified of pigeons nesting in their buildings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Sloan Ranger's national animal is the Tonto, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Sloanism.

The Sloan Ranger is ranked 42,860th in the world and 294th in the West Pacific for Most Stationary, with 1,034.86540018572 days.
