The Kingdom of Salernistan is a very large, devout nation, remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 141 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."
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 68%, and even higher for the wealthy. A very small private sector is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry.
Only the brainiest citizens become academics, the institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced, society and government have been organized according to a feudal hierarchy, and the importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Salernistan's national animal is the fildafire, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the kettlebell.
