The Theodemocracy of Saletonia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Prophet Ędaam Urhabba with an even hand, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, daily referendums, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 11.537 billion Saletonians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Faubridge. The average income tax rate is 73.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Saletonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,148 trillion Dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 99,507 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Prophet Ędaam Urhabba is called 'Patches' at international summits, children who believe in the tooth fairy are frequently shipped off to Bigtopia, tribal villagers hide behind the sofa when missionaries knock at their doors, and people have to sneak out of the country in order to have sex. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saletonia's national animal is the Bee, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Church of Jesus Christ.

Saletonia is ranked 207,610th in the world and 386th in United States of America for Safest, scoring 38.68 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
