The People's Republic of Salivan is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 9 million Salivanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Healthcare, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 6.1%.

The strong Salivanian economy, worth 505 billion baht a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is 56,125 baht, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Salivan's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Salivan is ranked 51,682^nd in the world and 21^st in Norrsken for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,817 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
