The Pink Holy Easter Fishtopia of Salaniouca is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Aqua Rium with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 4.762 billion Salanioucans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cod City. The average income tax rate is 76.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Salanioucan economy, worth 312 trillion Gold bars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 65,721 Gold bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cod City has restaurants serving every meat from aardvark to zebra, a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows, employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams, and the government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Salaniouca's national animal is the Fish, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Salaniouca is ranked 286,810^th in the world and 168^th in Declansburg for Fattest Citizens, with 5.85 Obesity Rate.
