The World Syndicalist Republics of Silver Commonwealth is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Supercomputer Tom with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, soft-spoken computers, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.414 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 prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neo Washington. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Human economy, worth 231 trillion Commonwealth 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 impressive 163,847 Commonwealth Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it... Human satellites can detect it, the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, Harry Potter books are banned, and a National Academy regulates grammar and usage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a 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 Christian mysticism and others.

Silver Commonwealth is ranked 17,546^th in the world and 3^rd in The Great Chili for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 3,364.96 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
