The Empire of Silver Minner is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Jermany with an iron fist, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, frequent executions, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 20.672 billion Minners are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Akkadian. The average income tax rate is 60.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Silver Minnerian economy, worth a remarkable 2,092 trillion Silver Valaurums a year, is extremely specialized and solely comprised of the Tourism industry. Average income is an impressive 101,221 Silver Valaurums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Akkadian Film Festival recently voted 'Minners Getting Hit By Football' as best film, the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, the government only announces the deaths of its members when it's convenient, and state media features lively debates such as whether pineapple on pizza is an acceptable topping. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silver Minner's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christian.

Silver Minner is ranked 182,703^rd in the world and 3,894^th in Lazarus for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 43.91 on the Hayek Index.
