The People's Republic of Salamo is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Secretary-General Victor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 12.754 billion Salamoans 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, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Krasni-Gorod. The average income tax rate is 73.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Salamoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,047 trillion Losos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 82,127 Losos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Courtrooms can be a little sketchy, pocket calculators are seen as status symbols for the ostentatiously wealthy, the government's foreign policy statements are less threatening than a World Assembly cease-and-desist letter, and the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Salamo's national animal is the Salmon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
Salamo is ranked 86,700th in the world and 4th in Valderon for Most Stationary, with 529.34506399672 days.
