The Warring Kingdom of Salitherry is a massive, safe nation, notable for its burgeoning dolphin population. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.011 billion Salitherryians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 22.7%.

The Salitherryian economy, worth 49.2 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 48,670 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

A National Academy regulates grammar and usage, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade, and nobody wants to know how the sausage is made. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Salitherry's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Salitherry is ranked 58,157^th in the world and 224^th in Starlight for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 47.2 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
