The Region of The Silt Sea is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by The Dragon King with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, free-roaming dinosaurs, and smutty television. The hard-nosed population of 9.35 billion Silt Seans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Silt Sea. The average income tax rate is 77.8%.
The powerhouse Silt Sean economy, worth a remarkable 1,593 trillion gold pieces a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 170,453 gold pieces, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.
In a fit of passion The Dragon King has shredded thirty years' worth of petitions, the government helps teach children how to kill a man from six paces, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, and politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive. The Silt Sea's national animal is the dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Preservers.
The Silt Sea is ranked 278,230th in the world and 3rd in The Burnt World Of Athas for Fattest Citizens, with 6.23 Obesity Rate.
