The Salt Mines of Native Tears is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 17.356 billion Wardens are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 49.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but underdeveloped Native Tearsian economy, worth 347 trillion Tears a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Trout Farming, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 19,993 Tears, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Political activists are routinely executed. Crime is well under control, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Native Tears's national animal is the Griffon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Native Tears is ranked 19,460th in the world and 2nd in Ejeanland Reigon for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
