The People's Republic of Silver Scale is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, strictly enforced bedtime, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working population of 2.446 billion Silver Scaleans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.8%.

The strong Silver Scalean economy, worth 137 trillion Lire a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 56,125 Lire, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

The military struggles with recruitment, prison visits increase substantially during election years, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, and old people living in plastic bubbles complain about a new type of social isolation. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silver Scale's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Silver Scale is ranked 251,177^th in the world and 1,185^th in Europeia for Fattest Citizens, with 7.37 Obesity Rate.
