The Federation of Salcrandia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Marcus Supanniga with an even hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.693 billion Salcrandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Environment are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moune City. The average income tax rate is 63.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Salcrandian economy, worth 44.7 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,396 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Salcrandia's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand, explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends, RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, and Salcrandia isn't what it used to be. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Salcrandia's national animal is the jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Salcrandia is ranked 76,787^th in the world and 1,069^th in the West Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 4,211.51 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
