The Theodemocracy of Saletonia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Prophet Ædaam Urhabba with an even hand, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, hatred of cheese, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 12.805 billion Saletonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Faubridge. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 79.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Saletonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,321 trillion Dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 103,230 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.6 times as much as the poorest.

Smart fridges sing the praises of The Church of Jesus Christ for fear of being iced, the clergy of The Church of Jesus Christ remains a single-sex institution, Prophet Ædaam Urhabba is refusing to make decisions until the Moon is out of Capricorn, and heartbroken parents are urged to "smile for the camera". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saletonia's national animal is the Bee, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Church of Jesus Christ.

Saletonia is ranked 175,738^th in the world and 3,472^nd in the Rejected Realms for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 1,087.86 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
