The Federation of Silversonicrand is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Wladyslaw Sadowski with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, frequent executions, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 2.045 billion Silversonicrandians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Goldson. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Silversonicrandian economy, worth 355 trillion Zloties a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 174,036 Zloties, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 522,890 per year while the poor average 45,216, a ratio of 11.6 to 1.

The general public only knows their favorite politician's first name, all government communication requires the imprimatur of the Truth Police, sections of the police receive paramilitary training, and it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silversonicrand's national animal is the White-tailed Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Silversonicrand is ranked 21,536^th in the world and 484^th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,047.33 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
