The Queen's State of Sou Salva is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 24.746 billion Sou Salvans 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 80.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Sou Salvan economy, worth 114 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 4,625 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bicyclists are banned from major roads, the government is cracking down on subversive groups, phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, and none has been named as Sou Salva's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sou Salva's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is none.

Sou Salva is ranked 18,147th in the world and 2nd in Tegucigalpa for Most Stationary, with 1,685.0475674022 days.
