The Peoples Republic of Salessll is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Jacob Hali with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and absence of drug laws. The quiet, industrious population of 2.05 billion Salans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tocktockwo. The average income tax rate is 70.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Salan economy, worth 204 trillion Zelmas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 99,862 Zelmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rioting during the nation's hosting of ORDER caused one million Zelmas of property damage, hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, President Jacob Hali is described as an everyday person with normal tastes and the usual interests, and giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why President Jacob Hali is a silly poophead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Salessll's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Salessll is ranked 40,501^st in the world and 1^st in big brains for Smartest Citizens, with 41.72 quips per hour.
