The Democratic Republic of Silver-Tree is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Ruers with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, free-roaming dinosaurs, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 13.63 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 Tossa Delmar. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Silvanian economy, worth a remarkable 4,282 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 314,208 Pounds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,413,938 per year while the poor average 43,075, a ratio of 32.8 to 1.

Being doxxed on social media is now mandatory, parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, political detractors refer to Ruers as 'that Bigtopian puppet', and men are enrolling into lady etiquette courses. 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 3,541^st in the world and 1^st in The Conservative Democracies for Lowest Crime Rates, with 127.28 law-abiding acts per hour.
