The Ascetic Dáxlamic Mandate of Salinas Plantations is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Lýderis Bradford John with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 7.392 billion Salinas Plantationsians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Salina. The average income tax rate is 87.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Salinas Plantationsian economy, worth 344 trillion Dáxlamic Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 46,653 Dáxlamic Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, corrupt Party bureaucrats are being voted out of office in overwhelming numbers, calling Lýderis Bradford John a tyrant is seen as the ultimate compliment, and bad punctuation has come to a full stop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Salinas Plantations's national animal is the Bay Mongoose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dáxlam.

Salinas Plantations is ranked 82,877^th in the world and 51^st in Declansburg for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 3,178.71 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
