The Theodemocracy of Saletonia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Prophet Ędaam Urhabba with an even hand, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 11.514 billion Saletonians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Faubridge. The average income tax rate is 72.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Saletonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,152 trillion Dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 100,084 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Rioting during the nation's hosting of ORDER caused one million Dollars of property damage, every political party claims that their platform is based on divine revelation, news headlines suggest that Prophet Ędaam Urhabba has a sideline in guinea pig pimping, and men are finding 'she spots' more easily but they can't use them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saletonia's national animal is the Bee, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Church of Jesus Christ.

Saletonia is ranked 227,204th in the world and 621st in United States of America for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -3.83 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
