The Bird-Loving Republic of Salarnsia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by James Everest Jr with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 5.8 billion Salarnsians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brexton. The average income tax rate is 22.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Salarnsian economy, worth 943 trillion Ralks a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 162,680 Ralks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Courtrooms can be a little sketchy, there's never a spare chair in the retirement home, elections are won by the candidate who makes the best 'yo mama' jokes, and the SWAT team always rings twice. Crime is totally unknown. Salarnsia's national animal is the Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Salarnsia is ranked 136,099^th in the world and 648^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 697.89 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
