The Kingdom of Saltine Crackers is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 859 million Saltine Crackersians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 18.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Saltine Crackersian economy, worth 41.4 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 48,232 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Bars are packed at all hours, the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, and Mouse is one of the most popular forenames in Saltine Crackers.
