The Holy Black Sentient of Silent Snorer is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Sleepyhead with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.518 billion Silent Snorerians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Silencio. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Silent Snorerian economy, worth a remarkable 2,608 trillion snowflakeses 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. 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 179,660 snowflakeses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Shoving people into lockers qualifies you for a ministerial position, the nation has declared its intention to "stretch out", the only way for immigrants to get into office is as a janitor, and a good Silent Snorerian is hard to find. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silent Snorer's national animal is the Cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Sleepapniaism.

Silent Snorer is ranked 265,942^nd in the world and 7^th in Doll Guldur for Most Cultured, scoring 60 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
