The Democratic States of Salibria is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 178 million Salibrians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Salibrian economy, worth 3.91 trillion Jlorans a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 21,966 Jlorans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, the running costs of homeless shelters are so high that it would be cheaper to buy houses for the homeless, and recruitment posters proclaim the army to be both fabulous and fashionable. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Salibria's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Salibria is ranked 273,674^th in the world and 797^th in Concord for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -9.59 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
