The Commonwealth of Salarius is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by President Marion Lalanne with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 8.937 billion Salarians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bordèu. The average income tax rate is 29.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Salarian economy, worth 773 trillion Sous a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 86,599 Sous, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government has enacted freedom of information, imitation is the sincerest form of felony, citizens may cast their vote over the internet or phone, and five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Salarius's national animal is the White Hart, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholic Christianity.

Salarius is ranked 80,799^th in the world and 23^rd in Modorra for Highest Average Incomes, with 86,599.28 Standard Monetary Units.
