The Dominion of Salonikum is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Wolf with an even hand, and remarkable for its restrictive gun laws. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 20.796 billion 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 Education, the Environment, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Salonikum City. The average income tax rate is 100%. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The welfare administration's new sweeping authority has forced the poor and needy to shop from pre-approved grocery lists, the wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, the government recently relinquished its monopoly on the mail service, and strategic bombers are being converted into preschools. Crime is totally unknown. Salonikum's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the gratz.

Salonikum is ranked 2,280th in Lazarus and 93,915th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 12 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
