The United States of Saldamania is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Samrat with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.974 billion Saldamanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kopatak. The average income tax rate is 65.0%.

The powerhouse Saldamanian economy, worth 204 trillion Rupees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,828 Rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Bizarre-looking creatures called 'Tigerdogs' dominate wildlife preserves, incarcerated crime lords manage their empires from massage tables, foreign nations often blame poverty and terrorism on Saldamanian selfishness, and ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saldamania's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hinduism.

Saldamania is ranked 36,696^th in the world and 2,357^th in Balder for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,559.41 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
