The Free Land of Silken Isles is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its daily referendums, rampant corporate plagiarism, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 335 million Silken Islesians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Puerto Cabello. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Silken Islesian economy, worth 35.9 trillion bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 107,163 bitcoins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 476,887 per year while the poor average 14,987, a ratio of 31.8 to 1.

Leader is going to the moon, wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high, the same 335 social media bloggers always loudly and immediately agree with Leader's every word on Twitcher, and ambulances aren't allowed to overtake hearses. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Silken Isles's national animal is the horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Silken Isles is ranked 162,246^th in the world and 41^st in Illuminati Empire for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 725.71 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
