The Theocratic Civilization of Missionary is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Archpriest Insaniac with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 12.355 billion Salvarians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous government is primarily concerned with Healthcare, although Education, Environment, and Defense are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Holy Temple of Soluain. The average income tax rate is 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Missionaryian economy, worth 571 trillion Tokens of Faith a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 46,234 Tokens of Faith, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, convicted murderers are free to walk the streets provided they attend rehabilitation classes, children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life, and the minority party is vilified for everything from fires to earthquakes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Missionary's national animal is the Beast of a thousand paths, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Salvarianism.

Missionary is ranked 244,244^th in the world and 5,571^st in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -20 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
