The Commonwealth of Salarius is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Marion Lalanne with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.675 billion Salarians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bordèu. The average income tax rate is 26.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Salarian economy, worth 297 trillion Sous a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 80,941 Sous, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Metal detectors have been banned after a bottle cap caused a riot at the beach, the government has enacted freedom of information, imitation is the sincerest form of felony, and citizens may cast their vote over the internet or phone. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Salarius's national animal is the White Hart, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholic Christianity.

Salarius is ranked 97,782^nd in the world and 21^st in Modorra for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,069.16 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
