The Republic of Salagalu is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ayumi Sachiko with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working population of 3.841 billion Salagalans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Salagalu City. The average income tax rate is 71.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Salagalan economy, worth 349 trillion Salagalan Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 90,871 Salagalan Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground, manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, and funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Salagalu's national animal is the Ultramarine lorikeet, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is None.

Salagalu is ranked 50,507^th in the world and 1,560^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,309.67 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
