The Democratic Republic of Silver-Tree is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Ruers with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, unlimited-speed roads, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.416 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tossa Delmar. The average income tax rate is 72.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Silvanian economy, worth 336 trillion Pounds a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 139,193 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Mechanics are often exhausted by their work, patriotic citizens chant "there's only one Silver-Tree" at foreigners, there's a literal nanny state for the legions of children taken by social services, and public loudspeakers constantly tell citizens they are "happy people". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded 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 Farting.

Silver-Tree is ranked 56,098^th in the world and 1^st in The Conservative Democracies for Highest Economic Output, with 336 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
