The Grand Duchy of Silgadin is a titanic, orderly nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 11.445 billion Silgadinese are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 21.9%.

The Silgadinese economy, worth 592 trillion Thalers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Gambling, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 51,787 Thalers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate. Silgadin's national animal is the Golden Eagle.

Silgadin is ranked 189,837^th in the world and 17^th in Ajax for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 6,355.16 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
