The State of Forever Silent is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, cynical population of 21.419 billion Forever Silentians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.1%.

The thriving Forever Silentian economy, worth a remarkable 1,101 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Average income is 51,436 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 201,233 per year while the poor average 8,956, a ratio of 22.5 to 1.

Elections have been outlawed, all tariffs have been abolished, and Forever Silent has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Forever Silent's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Forever Silent is ranked 301,356th in the world and 7th in Vaduz for Lowest Crime Rates, with 34.65 law-abiding acts per hour.
