The Democratic Republic of Silver-Tree is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ruers with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, sprawling nuclear power plants, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 14.14 billion Silvanians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chef Field. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Silvanian economy, worth a remarkable 4,470 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 316,126 Pounds, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

A surprising number of police officers have been arrested for Red Squirrel sacrifices, voters regularly try to eat their ballot papers, government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens", and both criminals and civilians are DOA. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silver-Tree's national animal is the Red Squirrel, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Flatulence.

Silver-Tree is ranked 329,292^nd in the world and 16^th in The Conservative Democracies for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 9.79 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
