The Democratic Republic of Silver-Tree is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ruers with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, smutty television, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 14.125 billion Silvanians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chef Field. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Silvanian economy, worth a remarkable 4,462 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 315,934 Pounds, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign musicians that Ruers dislikes are turned away at the border, diaper sales are up, in the Beginning was the Word and the Word was "Pragmatism", and a third of Silvanians are e-certified CEOs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silver-Tree's national animal is the Red Squirrel, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Flatulence.

Silver-Tree is ranked 331,483^rd in the world and 16^th in The Conservative Democracies for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 2.03 Effective Tax Rate.
