The District of Silver-Smith is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Liard with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 40.504 billion Silver-Smithians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, with Industry and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The very strong Silver-Smithian economy, worth a remarkable 2,191 trillion aurums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 54,100 aurums, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 367,818 per year while the poor average 2,906, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Graffiti graces every city's streets, Silver-Smith has designated District City as its capital city, Liard has just been declared ruler of Silver-Smith in an international press conference, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Silver-Smith's national animal is the bovina, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Silver-Smith is ranked 289,830^th in the world and 11^th in Colorado for Lowest Crime Rates, with 31.98 law-abiding acts per hour.
