The Rogue Nation of SALAKAU is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 911 million SALAKAUians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 50.5%.

The all-consuming SALAKAUian economy, worth 73.7 trillion SALAKUNIANS a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 80,898 SALAKUNIANS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Private businesses are paving paradises to put up parking lots, the School of Hard Knocks is receiving record application numbers., skateboarding is considered a form of diplomacy, and official maps have to be revised on a weekly basis. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem. SALAKAU's national animal is the PARANG, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

SALAKAU is ranked 115,960^th in the world and 4^th in a13 for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 2,158.24 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
