The Terrible Swift Sword of Silesia-1 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working population of 23.251 billion Silesia-1ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 37.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Silesia-1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,766 trillion $$s a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 75,995 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.
Grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters, reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, and gun ownership is compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silesia-1's national animal is the Dolly Varden, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Silesia-1 is ranked 74,282nd in the world and 1st in Silesia for Safest, scoring 92.8 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
