The State of Salta is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 23.675 billion Saltans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Welfare, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.6%.

The very strong Saltan economy, worth 804 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 33,991 betales, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Salta has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Salta's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Salta is ranked 181,079^th in the world and 470^th in 0000 for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
