The Salimanese Federation of The United Partitions is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Tito Poltlunatl with a fair hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, public floggings, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 2.626 billion Salimanasians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Administration, with Industry also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Libbertattie. Income tax is unheard of.

The all-consuming Salimanese economy, worth 621 trillion Pices a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 236,516 Pices, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,163,441 per year while the poor average 2,799, a ratio of 772 to 1.

Tito Poltlunatl claims tax rises are the result of 'curses', grinning punters say that casino roulette is the greatest high that life has to offer, foreign nations often blame poverty and terrorism on Salimanese selfishness, and big game hunters travel to The United Partitions to try their hand at shark-shooting. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The United Partitions's national animal is the Sankhiooan Parrot, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The United Partitions is ranked 270,959^th in the world and 254^th in The Western Isles for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1.55 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
