The Democratic Republic of Silver-Tree is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Ruers with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 8.892 billion Silvanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

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 Tossa Delmar. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Silvanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,186 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 245,845 Pounds, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

Tossa Delmar has restaurants serving every meat from aardvark to zebra, major polluting industries have painted a lot of their machines green to give an impression of caring about the environment, truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon, and female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast. 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 Farting.

Silver-Tree is ranked 33,683^rd in the world and 1^st in The Conservative Democracies for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 5,875.06 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
