The State of Salone State is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 16.828 billion Salone Stateans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.

The very strong Salone Statean economy, worth 888 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 52,808 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 152,938 per year while the poor average 14,450, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, the jackhammer is considered a tool of artistic criticism, and Salone State has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Salone State's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Salone State is ranked 208,297^th in the world and 1^st in Republic of Sierra Leone for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 51.48 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
