The Democratic Republic of Silver-Tree is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Ruers with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, free-roaming dinosaurs, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 14.112 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 4,458 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 315,933 Pounds, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Kids learn to count without the numbers '0' or '1', political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Ruers's throne, students are explicitly allowed to write answers on their forearms before exams, and hot dogs have been renamed lukewarm pigs. 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 1,117^th in the world and 1^st in The Conservative Democracies for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 10,155.12 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
