The Republic of Salagalu is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Sakurako Iwanami with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working population of 8.968 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 medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Myojin. The average income tax rate is 77.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Salagalan economy, worth a remarkable 1,305 trillion Enkais a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 145,540 Enkais, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

The government guarantees that tourists will have the ultimate trip on their trips, "Darwin's Disease" is a growing cause of death, scientists who publish a non-reproducible result are tarred and feathered, and there's more hugging than talking in most talk shows. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Salagalu's national animal is the Ultramarine lorikeet, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secular.

Salagalu is ranked 14,615^th in the world and 470^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 359.94 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
