“We get by.”

The Holy Empire of Sillaseon is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 606 million 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sillaseon City. The average income tax rate is 50%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Book Publishing and Automobile Manufacturing.

Innocent defendants often plea guilty for fear of receiving a much harsher sentence before jury, anti-government web sites are springing up, the government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, and streakers swamp all public events in order to bare it all. Crime is totally unknown. Sillaseon's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the won.

Sillaseon is ranked 186th in the region and 11,270th in the world for Most Godforsaken.
