The Federation of Salcrandia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Marcus Supanniga with an even hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.633 billion Salcrandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Administration are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moune City. The average income tax rate is 58.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Salcrandian economy, worth 45.4 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,829 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Salcrandia's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand, explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends, RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, and Salcrandia isn't what it used to be. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Salcrandia's national animal is the jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Salcrandia is ranked 64,773^rd in the world and 814^th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.01 law-abiding acts per hour.
