The Bloodthirsty Bodhisattva of Zaolat is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Saulot with an even hand, and notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, vat-grown people, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, devout population of 23.661 billion Salubri have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Enoch. The average income tax rate is 71.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Salubri economy, worth a remarkable 1,845 trillion Valerans a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 77,991 Valerans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

No animal is considered endangered if there's another that looks kind of like it, prodigal children celebrate as charitable bequests plummet, on graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, and cheap textbooks have replaced coasters at college ragers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zaolat's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Golconda.

Zaolat is ranked 37,134^th in the world and 1,895^th in Osiris for Smartest Citizens, with 43.26 quips per hour.
