The Dictatorship of Saluteviker is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Nick Barrington with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, avant-garde cinema, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6.112 billion Salutevikerians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saluteviker City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 62.5%.

The all-consuming Salutevikerian economy, worth 543 trillion Saluteviker dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Retail. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 88,950 Saluteviker dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 254,670 per year while the poor average 24,733, a ratio of 10.3 to 1.

Proper policy proposals prerequire professional peer-reviewed papers, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, citizens who leave the country are officially classed as traitors, and criminals are really screwed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saluteviker's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Saluteviker is ranked 263,819^th in the world and 5^th in Outlandic Council for Most Primitive, scoring -204.52 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
