The District of Silver Slug is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by proctor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 43.467 billion Slugs are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Public Transport, and International Aid. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.3%.

The very strong Silver Slugian economy, worth a remarkable 1,811 trillion aurums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Average income is 41,682 aurums, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 127,330 per year while the poor average 10,576, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Silver Slug's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, Silver Slug has designated District City as its capital city, and Proctor has just been declared ruler of Silver Slug in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Silver Slug's national animal is the bovina, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Silver Slug is ranked 136,527^th in the world and 2^nd in Juneau for Most Extreme, scoring 19.74 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
