The Republic of Silvaquan is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 681 million Silvaquanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Healthcare, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stormhaven. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Silvaquanian economy, worth 41.6 trillion Quills a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,133 Quills, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, recorded music can be rented but not bought from record companies, citizens with artificial limbs are forbidden to serve as beauty pageant judges, and high school boys are required to pass vigorous self-mastery and sensitivity training to graduate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silvaquan's national animal is the Roc, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Silvaquan is ranked 113,508^th in the world and 281^st in The Frontier Sea for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 2,224.73 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
