The Federal Republic of Silver Sin is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles. The quiet, industrious population of 4.52 billion Silver Sinians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 26.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Silver Sinian economy, worth 174 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,619 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

A new guerrilla marketing campaign for tap water involves government agents spraying random citizens with hose water, builders spend more time negotiating "tasteful architecture" than on actual construction, it is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors, and an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silver Sin's national animal is the fox, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Silver Sin is ranked 154,174^th in the world and 2^nd in Malphe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.63 law-abiding acts per hour.
