The New Republic of Silvamar is a mammoth, pleasant nation, ruled by Elias Garcovixa with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working, democratic population of 5.383 billion Silvestrans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Barasèlô and Marcanova. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.0%.

The strong Silvestran economy, worth 308 trillion Bordelxas a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is 57,278 Bordelxas, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

Kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history, a death threat has replaced 'hello' as an official greeting in the nation, officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, and royalist is the most offensive slur in the Silvestran language. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Silvamar's national animal is the Maidaçon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Silvamar is ranked 268,932^nd in the world and 3,325^th in The East Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.76 kickbacks per hour.
