The UTT Fox of Rism Silikanes is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by King Saville I with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, soft-spoken computers, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.694 billion Rism Silikanesians 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.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Washington DC. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.3%.

The all-consuming Rism Silikanes economy, worth 457 trillion Coppers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 123,874 Coppers, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

The aims of top-secret Rism Silikanes science projects revolve around designing the perfect robot woman, some are born loving old plays and some have old plays thrust upon them, the nation threatens sanctions on islands only visible at low tide, and shelters struggle to keep up with the endless intake of stray animals. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rism Silikanes's national animal is the Greater Basilisk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Rism Silikanes is ranked 49,938th in the world and 2nd in New Autumn for Lowest Crime Rates, with 74.19 law-abiding acts per hour.
