The Dáxlamic Missions of Great Salt Lake Desert is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lỷderis Bradford John with an iron fist, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, ubiquitous missile silos, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 9.688 billion Great Salt Lake Desertians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Salt Lake City. The average income tax rate is 79.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Great Salt Lake Desertian economy, worth 595 trillion Dáxlamic marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 61,501 Dáxlamic marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There are no more heroes any more, troublemakers just happen to be reassigned to distant mining operations, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, and citizens cannot change their light bulbs without approval from an international committee. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Salt Lake Desert's national animal is the scorpion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dáxlam.

Great Salt Lake Desert is ranked 291,840^th in the world and 169^th in Declansburg for Most Patriotic, with 3.11 flags saluted per person per day.
