The Kingdom of Salinkalitz is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, restrictive gun laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.056 billion Salinkalitzians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.4%.

The thriving Salinkalitzian economy, worth 73.1 trillion cumberts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 69,232 cumberts, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 258,174 per year while the poor average 13,019, a ratio of 19.8 to 1.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, and Harry Potter books are banned. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Salinkalitz's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Salinkalitz is ranked 279,153^rd in the world and 309^th in Starlight for Largest Black Market, with 71.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
