The District of Salina Berks is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 22.141 billion Salina Berksians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The very strong Salina Berksian economy, worth 954 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 43,129 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 293,224 per year while the poor average 2,317, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, all tariffs have been abolished, the government is avowedly atheist, and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Salina Berks's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Salina Berks is ranked 127,967th in the world and 5th in Nuku Alofa for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 843.09 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
