The Pink Flower of Salzcovia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Necchia with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, national health service, and digital currency. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.27 billion Salzcovians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tanuvio. The average income tax rate is 83.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Salzcovian economy, worth 902 trillion Flowerrencies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 124,187 Flowerrencies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem", airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure, and Necchia has killer fashion sense. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Salzcovia's national animal is the Harpy Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Salzcovia is ranked 6,999^th in the world and 367^th in The North Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 40.54 average smiles per day.
