The People's Republic of Silmajia is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, sprawling nuclear power plants, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.058 billion Silmajians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 68.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Silmajian economy, worth 88.5 trillion Thekpons 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 Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is 83,667 Thekpons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Courses in how to boil water are popular for formerly microwave-reliant Silmajians, The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, and families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silmajia's national animal is the Kākāpō, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Silmajia is ranked 184,828^th in the world and 122^nd in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 238.83 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
