  • 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.

History

  • The nation of Sajlamot was founded when the Sajland Indians met settlers from other lands.

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.

While we made Sajism.

Oh say does that Saj-spangled

Banner yet wave...

For the land of Sajism

And the home of Sajland.
