The Rebooted Computer of The Sal 9000 is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by David Bowman with a fair hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 14.811 billion Computers 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 medium-sized, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Education, although Industry, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Discovery One. The average income tax rate is 89.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sal 9000ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,954 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 199,469 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Journalists listen to the money talk, policies are debated via video essays and tier lists, voters are one of the nation's top imports, and "Darwin's Disease" is a growing cause of death. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Sal 9000's national animal is the star child, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is IBM.

The Sal 9000 is ranked 118,119th in the world and 117th in Benigtopia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,226.66 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
