The Commonwealth of Salterra is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prime Minister Lennox McNeill with a fair hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, absence of drug laws, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, democratic population of 23.48 billion Salterrans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Environment, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Warwickshire. The average income tax rate is 57.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Salterran economy, worth a remarkable 2,717 trillion Salterran Crowns a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,718 Salterran Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways, up to 40% of voters can finally read the issues they're deciding on, a valid legal defense is 'dead men tell no tales', and voting is voluntary. Crime is totally unknown. Salterra's national animal is the Green Sea Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Salterra is ranked 72,951^st in the world and 840^th in The North Pacific for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 14,968.62 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
