The Federal Republic of Salapawan is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 6.243 billion Salapawanians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 19.6%.

The Salapawanian economy, worth 278 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 44,458 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Salapawan's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Salapawan is ranked 300,589^th in the world and 155^th in Distorted Memories for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring -8.94 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
