The No 1 Pineapple Pizza Fanboy of TheHouseOfSilly is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Grand Chairman Joe Shlingling with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate population of 3.916 billion Silly Billys are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Silly Manor. The average income tax rate is 91.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Silly economy, worth 587 trillion Blue Crayons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 150,111 Blue Crayons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, Loud Patriotic Music Day has been ranked the seventh best new holiday of the year, annulments are on the rise as couples discover their ancestors were born in the same hospitals, and school lessons are constantly interrupted by 'teacher needs a break' time. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TheHouseOfSilly's national animal is the Wobster Lobster, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Sillyism.

TheHouseOfSilly is ranked 301,891st in the world and 3,929th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -12.58 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
