The Empire of Silver Minner is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Jermany with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 22.91 billion Minners are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, 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 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Silver Minnerian economy, worth a remarkable 2,357 trillion Silver Valaurums a year, is extremely specialized and solely comprised of the Tourism industry. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,913 Silver Valaurums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Jennifer Government is a bestseller, pregnant hitchhikers with signs requesting rides to "competent care" are a common sight on Silver Minnerian roads, the government is interviewing for thousands of 'Religious Censor' positions, and school cafeterias serve nothing but protein powder and vitamin supplements. 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 12,280^th in the world and 133^rd in the West Pacific for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 9,238.04 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
