The Federation of Silgalt is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 871 million Silgaltians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 24.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Silgaltian economy, worth 41.6 trillion lire a year, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,703 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, nations that kill a Silgaltian can expect a strongly worded letter, televangelists flaunt their expensive cars when they attend charity events, and the atmosphere in Silgaltian boardrooms is turning more gay. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silgalt's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Silgalt is ranked 43,533^rd in the world and 131^st in Carcassonne for Safest, scoring 104.63 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
