The Principality of Silva1 is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Amelia Reynolds with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, otherworldly petting zoo, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed population of 19.477 billion Silvans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Arthur. The average income tax rate is 43.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Silvan economy, worth a remarkable 5,582 trillion Ducats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 286,618 Ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Modern warfare's call of duty isn't popular with gamers these days, tipsy fans frequently invite themselves to the board meetings of sports clubs, builders across Silva1 are blocked up with orders for new public loos, and elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-Ducat mansions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silva1's national animal is the Spiteful crow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is National Orthodoxy.

Silva1 is ranked 3,984^th in the world and 3^rd in Mitteleuropa for Highest Average Incomes, with 286,618.73 Standard Monetary Units.
