The Democratic Republic of Silver-Tree is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ruers with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, national health service, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 14.145 billion Silvanians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chef Field. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Silvanian economy, worth a remarkable 4,471 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 316,107 Pounds, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

Voters regularly try to eat their ballot papers, government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens", both criminals and civilians are DOA, and morale within the seismologist community has hit rock bottom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silver-Tree's national animal is the Red Squirrel, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Flatulence.

Silver-Tree is ranked 242,402^nd in the world and 6^th in The Conservative Democracies for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 199.46 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
