The Queen's State of Booz Salmon is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 32.265 billion Booz Salmonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Booz Salmonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,276 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 39,564 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is a crime to offend someone's religious beliefs, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, naturists are jailed regularly for indecent exposure, and Booz Salmon has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Booz Salmon's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Booz Salmon is ranked 66,260^th in the world and 1^st in Luxembourg for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.66 law-abiding acts per hour.
