The Federal Republic of Salboa is a mid-sized, socially progressive nation, renowned for its smutty television and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working population of 86 million Salboans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.1%.

The Salboan economy, worth 4.22 trillion Salboan Pesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 49,056 Salboan Pesos, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

A flying elephant and Leader share the same nickname, political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, glamping Salboans won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, and drawing men's naughty bits isn't considered to be art. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Salboa's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Salboa is ranked 117,766^th in the world and 2,006^th in The East Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 65 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
