The Kingdom of Silverlin is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its national health service, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 2.806 billion Silverlinians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alden. The average income tax rate is 42.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient Silverlinian economy, worth 83.2 trillion verlins a year, is highly specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is 29,665 verlins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, jokes told in elementary school often come back to haunt politicians, solid-gold toilets are Silverlinian prisons' least expensive furnishings, and diplomatic cables about Leader have suddenly been very flattering. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silverlin's national animal is the Gorilla, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Silverlin is ranked 36,682nd in the world and 1,867th in Balder for Safest, scoring 106.59 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
