The Republic of Sahaliyan Holapssia is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 287 million Sahaliyan Holapssians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 9.8%.

The strong Sahaliyan Holapssian economy, worth 16.7 trillion Sahaliyan Mochoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Average income is 58,294 Sahaliyan Mochoes, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

It's normal to start working life with crippling financial debt, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the mining industry has taken a hit from tighter environmental regulations, and sex changes are routinely performed at Sahaliyan Holapssia's hospitals. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Sahaliyan Holapssia's national animal is the Osolla Mermaid, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Sahaliyan Holapssia is ranked 77,688^th in the world and 3,479^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,986.81 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
