The Kingdom of Salibaic is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by King John II with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.884 billion Salibaicians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dunbarline. The average income tax rate is 87.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Salibaician economy, worth 877 trillion Yets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 149,066 Yets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Millions of Salibaicians are excellent swimmers, anti-government demagogues have a devil of a time evading authorities, catching an old friend by surprise on the street can be a shocking experience, and cutting-edge missile systems are being retrofitted to twin-prop air force biplanes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Salibaic's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Holy Shrine of Dr Owl.

Salibaic is ranked 14,124^th in the world and 16^th in Force for Most Developed, scoring 87.81 on the Human Development Index.
