The Republic of Saloncia is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its frequent executions, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 102 million Saloncians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Education, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 37.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Saloncian economy, worth 5.45 trillion Χρυσό νόμισμα Εστίαςs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 53,444 Χρυσό νόμισμα Εστίαςs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The police force is rumoured to be made up of evil shadows with no souls, teenage male videogamers often suffer repetitive strain wrist injuries, scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays, and former gun owners are finding that brandishing paintball guns isn't as satisfying as the real thing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saloncia's national animal is the Salonician Owl Κουκουβάγια Θεσσαλονίκης, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Saloncia is ranked 255,506^th in the world and 1,229^th in Europe for Largest Populations, with 102 million capita.
