The Most Serene Republic of Saltmoras is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 14.779 billion Saltmorasians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 9.3%.

The strong Saltmorasian economy, worth 760 trillion Unified Altmoran Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 51,458 Unified Altmoran Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, and funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Saltmoras's national animal is the Wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Saltmoras is ranked 171,401^st in the world and 34^th in The Embassy for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 410.18 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
