The Awakening of The Silver Strand is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Lord Silver with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 2.927 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although Commerce and Law & Order are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Strandingham. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports industries.

Lobsters are considered a delicacy, urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines, motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, and it is mandatory to learn evolution in schools. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Silver Strand's national animal is the lobster, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is The Awakening, and its currency is the Silver Cross.

The Silver Strand is ranked 2nd in Mythical HQ 85 and 26,534th in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 6 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
