The Queen's State of Silas Mariner is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 19.099 billion Silas Marinerians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The powerhouse Silas Marinerian economy, worth a remarkable 1,070 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. Average income is 56,033 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 198,339 per year while the poor average 11,429, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Voting is voluntary. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Silas Mariner's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Silas Mariner is ranked 191,582^nd in the world and 358^th in 0000 for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -3.16 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
