The Conservative Dictatorship of Salazaa is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by High Custodial Colonel Arthur Winsock with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, state-planned economy, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.353 billion Salazaans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Vatican. The average income tax rate is 67.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Salazaan economy, worth 173 trillion Suins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 73,576 Suins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to New Vatican to enjoy their national art, the nation has always been at war with Moltovea, the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, and the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Salazaa's national animal is the Salazaan Bloodhound, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Holy Roman Catholicism.

Salazaa is ranked 10,803^rd in the world and 10^th in The Black Hawks for Safest, scoring 120.13 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
