The Grand Ducal Empire of Salvora Montalvo is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Imperial Grand Duke Leimakeides Matté with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 2.713 billion Salvora Montalvoans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calliphaea. The average income tax rate is 94.4%.
The very strong Salvora Montalvoan economy, worth 256 trillion Corycias a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,538 Corycias, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
It is against the rules of boxing to hit above or below the belt, betting pennies on games of Go Fish is considered deviant, tax revenue is often intercepted by international accountants before ever seeing the national treasury, and hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Salvora Montalvo's national animal is the Call Duck and Miniature Cow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is italian.
Salvora Montalvo is ranked 9,256th in the world and 169th in Europe for Most Cultured, scoring 123 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
