The Crashed Spaceship of Salaxalans of Spiritus is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Svlad Cjelli with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, daily referendums, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 21.77 billion Salaxians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rime. The average income tax rate is 68.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Salaxalansian economy, worth a remarkable 2,386 trillion Dirks a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 109,627 Dirks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Oil rigs in winter are heated by contained oil slick fires, Svlad Cjelli can cry on demand, teachers are routinely tested to keep their jobs, and spontaneous nocturnal decapitation is considered 'death by natural causes' for enemies of Salaxalans of Spiritus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Salaxalans of Spiritus's national animal is the Electric Monk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Chronology.

Salaxalans of Spiritus is ranked 250,959^th in the world and 1^st in TSP Official Regional Games for Most Primitive, scoring -155.96 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
