“For the Salvant!”

Overview • Dispatches • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Salvantary is a very large, pleasant nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working population of 213 million Salvarans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 26.6%.

The Salvantaryian economy, worth 8.46 trillion Ternions a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 39,724 Ternions, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, organ donation is compulsory, Harry Potter books are banned, and public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Salvantary's national animal is the Black Heron, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Salvantary is ranked 127,213^th in the world and 8^th in Aeterna Regnum for Fattest Citizens, with 10.29 Obesity Rate.
