The Kingdom of Salisford is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Swift Breeze with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, frequent executions, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 14.379 billion ponies 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Savotta. The average income tax rate is 19.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Salisfordian economy, worth a remarkable 2,428 trillion Bits a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 168,875 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prisons are filled with the cackles and sobs of a deranged inmate population, many politicians are serving jail time for minor drug offenses, stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence, and nobles' fancy titles no longer help them cut in line at the supermarket. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Salisford's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Salisford is ranked 275,416^th in the world and 411^th in The League for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -11.83 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
