The Republic of Silicon Crush is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Bill Gates with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, ubiquitous missile silos, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.46 billion Silicon Crushians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Francisco. The average income tax rate is 22.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Silicon Crushian economy, worth a remarkable 2,128 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 129,333 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Orange trees find it's not easy being green, royals are losing their heads over jubilee week celebrations, a fashion designer has been arrested for inciting hatred after claiming redheads couldn't pull off vermillion, and bombs make good ploughs. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Silicon Crush's national animal is the elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Tacos.

Silicon Crush is ranked 14,792nd in the world and 5th in St Abbaddon for Highest Poor Incomes, with 104,882.48 Standard Monetary Units.
