The Autocracy of Saliba is a gargantuan, genial nation, renowned for its hatred of cheese, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 43.848 billion Salibans 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Environment, and Education. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The strong Saliban economy, worth a remarkable 4,100 trillion gold nuggets a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 93,506 gold nuggets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Libraries have replaced overdue book fines with mandatory mental health assessments, news headlines suggest that Leader has a sideline in guinea pig pimping, 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, and holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saliba's national animal is the llama, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Saliba is ranked 76,638^th in the world and 4,219^th in Balder for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,387.31 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
