Overview

The Democratic Republican States of Sajlamot, located in the Americana region, is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate population of 2.774 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 53%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling, Furniture Restoration, and Pizza Delivery industries.

Refugees from other nations are flocking to Sajlamot's border, citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens, citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns, and smoking is banned in public areas. Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sajlamot's national animal is the snow leopard, and its currency is the Saj.

Name

The name "Sajlamot" is derived from the word "Salamat", a native Sajland Indian word which literally means "hello." This was the first word spoken between the founders of the nation, the Sajland Indians and the settlers from other lands.

History

The ruins of an ancient Sajist Temple

The nation of Sajlamot was founded when the Sajland Indians (and the less predominant tribes of the Sereynian, Sajlamotian, and Tomaljian tribes,) met settlers from other lands. The settlers were already disgruntled about the government in their prior nations, and so decided to stay with the friendly Indians. Together, the two groups built Perlion City. From there, other cities and towns were built.

An interesting time period in Sajlamot's history is the period of time when Emperor Hal Um II began the religion of Sajism. This religion is now wide spread in Sajlamot. You can still see many temples from the beginning of this religion.

Geography

The nation of Sajlamot is located on the western-most peninsula of the central continent of Americana. The nation also owns an island far to the southwest of the mainland, and is expanding northward to the northwestern continent.

The terrain of the Sajlamot mainland is mostly flat, with a few low hills. There is, however, a large mountain range running through the northwest portion of the land. The land is mainly a grassland, but there are several forests. Sajlamot's mainland also includes four small islands. The terrain of the northwest continent which Sajlamot is expanding towards is much the same.

The island in the southwest or Americana, known as New Sajia Isle, is mostly rain forest. There are also several volcanoes.

The primary language of Sajlamot is English, however there is a secondary language which is widely spoken. This secondary language is the language of the Sajland Indians.
In the Sajland Indian language, letters are pronounced in the following ways:
A = "Ah" "Ay"
B = "Buh" "Bay"
C = "Cuh" "Suh"
D = "Duh" "Dee" "Day"
E = "Ee" "Eh" "Ih"
F = "Fuh" "Fee" "Fah"

U = "Uh" "Ooh"
W = "Wuh" "Way"

~= Break between syllables.

Always capitalize proper nouns and the first letter of a sentence, as well as the first letter after a ~.
Examples: His name is Sean. Ba~King. (Baking)
If there is a ' (meaning you add a "Shuh"), do not pronounce any S after that.
Example: Wa'~es.(Wash)
/ shows possesion.
Example: Sean/s book.
\ shows a contraction.
Example: He\s 8 years old.
P is always silent if it is at the beginning of a word.
Example: Psy~chic. (Sy-kick)
To pluralize a word with a ' ("Shuh"), place a "q" at the end of the word.
Example: Wa'~esq. (Washes)
