The Commonwealth of Saladonia is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its public floggings, enslaved workforce, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 398 million Saladonians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Venecia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.8%.

The Saladonian economy, worth 17.4 trillion Saladonian Francs a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,756 Saladonian Francs, with the richest citizens earning 9.7 times as much as the poorest.

Children are seen fighting in the playground for bread scraps that fall out of diamond-encrusted lunchboxes, abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances, the government has put a kid glove on the invisible hand of the free market, and you can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saladonia's national animal is the Eurasian Griffon Vulture, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Saladonia is ranked 49,091^st in the world and 266^th in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 4,522.21 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
