The National World Republic of Silver Commonwealth is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Supercomputer Tom with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, public floggings, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.084 billion Humans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neo Washington. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient a Human economy, worth a remarkable 2,599 trillion Commonwealth's Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is an amazing 234,491 Commonwealth's Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Overhead luggage compartments on planes sometimes conceal diminutive intelligence officers, funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus, and sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silver Commonwealth's national animal is the Bald eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity and others.

Silver Commonwealth is ranked 38,810th in the world and 8th in The Great Chili for Most Income Equality, scoring 67.19 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
