The Republic of Salagalu is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Sakurako Iwanami with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 5.135 billion Salagalans 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 large government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Welfare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Salagalu City. The average income tax rate is 77.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Salagalan economy, worth 524 trillion Salagalan Credits 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 102,162 Salagalan Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Warfare increasingly resembles a video game, fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, residents of houses built on a foundation of wishful thinking are prone to an odd sinking feeling, and signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Salagalu's national animal is the Ultramarine lorikeet, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is None.

Salagalu is ranked 273,709^th in the world and 5,053^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring -6.03 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
