The Federal Republic of Salvanium is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Yosef Salva with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.177 billion Salvanians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Point Veronica. The average income tax rate is 91.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Salvanian economy, worth 929 trillion Cores a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 222,471 Cores, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
The nation is currently revamping its entire education system, country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, thieves find battery shops juicier targets than banks, and earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Salvanium's national animal is the Rattlesnake, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Wicca.
Salvanium is ranked 6,346th in the world and 345th in Lazarus for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 504.46 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
