"Sajalamus Sojurn"

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 2.541 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 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 salamander and its currency is the Saj.

Sports

• Sajlamot is known for one of the best soccer/football teams in the Americana region.

• Sajlamot also participates in the sports of american football and volleyball.

Positions

• The ruler of Sajlamot has been a Congressman of Government, Government's Foreign Affairs Minister, the Chief Justice of Government, Prime Minister of Americana, a Congressman of Doode, Doode's Foreign Affairs Minister, and a member of The North Pacific's Regional Assembly. He is currently a member of the Parliament of Americana, Americana's Immigration Minister, and a Lord in Empire of Earth's House of Lords.

Organizations

• Sajlamot is a member of the Central Americana Defense Organization (CADO.)
• This organization is a group that decides what is best for the economy and defense of the central portion of Americana.

Name

• The name "Sajlamot" is derived from the word "Salamat", a native word which literally means "hello."

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 sevral 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 rainforest. There are also sevral volcanoes.

History

• The nation of Sajlamot was founded when the Sajian 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 Chancellor Amy Deloreia began the religion of Sajism. This religion is now wide spread in Sajlamot. You can still see many temples from the beggining of this religion.

• [2] This image shows tourists from Swiss Army's lands visiting an old Sajist temple.

Oh say can you see,

By the dusk's late night light,

What so proudly we hail,

Over our heads it is gleaming;

It's bold Saj and Ser parts

Were so proudly shining.

As we all watched it sail

While we made Sajism.

Oh say does that Saj-spangled

Banner yet wave...

For the land of Sajism

And the home of Sajian.
