The Kingdom of Salernistan is a fledgling, devout nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 5 million 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 government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic morass -- juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 36%, but much higher for the wealthy. A tiny private sector is dominated by the Furniture Restoration industry.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Salernistan's national animal is the sword, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the kettlebell.
