The Theocratic Civilization of Missionary is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Archpriest Insaniac with an iron fist, and renowned 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 13.212 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — prioritizes Healthcare, with Environment, Education, and Defense also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Holy Temple of Soluain. The average income tax rate is 74.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Missionaryian economy, worth 637 trillion Tokens of Faith a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 48,235 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 291,331^st in the world and 5,732^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -10.32 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
