The Prosperous Republic of Salanernterthwazva is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Sckasipopal Silcanto with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.728 billion Salanernterthwazvians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Silcantonia. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Salanernterthwazvan economy, worth a remarkable 1,355 trillion Sckasis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 236,680 Sckasis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, people who have had childhood imaginary friends are told they can't ever be trusted with guns, the explosive fireball of the disintegrating space shuttle has devastated Cape Salanernterthwazva, and the government is funneling billions into Cape Salanernterthwazva following the shuttle crash. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Salanernterthwazva's national animal is the platypus, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Silcantism.
