The Democratic Republic of Silver-Tree is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ruers with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 14.027 billion Silvanians 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.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chef Field. The average income tax rate is 2.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Silvanian economy, worth a remarkable 4,418 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 315,010 Pounds, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Homeless people can be found sleeping on streets in front of unoccupied second homes, the only movement outdoors is of ramen-delivery drones, the sidewalk is used as an overtaking lane by city drivers, and bleach is the nation's most common pesticide. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silver-Tree's national animal is the Red Squirrel, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Flatulence.

Silver-Tree is ranked 234,216^th in the world and 6^th in The Conservative Democracies for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 150.23 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
