The Pink Flower of Salzcovia is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Necchia with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.337 billion Salzcovians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tanuvio. The average income tax rate is 83.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Salzcovian economy, worth 910 trillion Flowerrencies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 124,061 Flowerrencies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Many aides in Necchia's office are known to be serial jaywalkers, Salzcovian diplomacy is by the book, mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, and retired racing Harpy Eagles are served truffles for breakfast. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Salzcovia's national animal is the Harpy Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Salzcovia is ranked 107,229^th in the world and 2,215^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,530.39 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
