The Gold and Silver Holdings of Electrum is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed population of 12.214 billion Electrumites enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Education, although Healthcare, Industry, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Centralis. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Electrumian economy, worth a remarkable 1,963 trillion Synergies a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 160,781 Synergies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Surrogate mothers are encouraged to refer to their wombs as 'rental space', there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, 'To Regulate And Beyond' is the unofficial motto of the Electrumian Space Agency, and groups of government workers are declared protected tribes if they venture too deep into the Capitol. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Electrum's national animal is the Pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Whatever you want.

Electrum is ranked 15,892^nd in the world and 15^th in Rushmore for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 4,878.97 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
