The Constitutional Monarchy of SalSal is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 1.019 billion SalSalians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 77.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient SalSalian economy, worth 103 trillion marks 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 Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 101,750 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

People with dyslexia are told to tough through it, diners regard burgers made from mechanically reclaimed cow protein as "proper meat", betting ads have replaced the national anthem at the start of sports matches, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime is totally unknown. SalSal's national animal is the sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

SalSal is ranked 29,767^th in the world and 38^th in Union of Allied States for Most Developed, scoring 83.04 on the Human Development Index.
