The Gold V of Silver V is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Sam Silver with a fair hand, and renowned for its restrictive gun laws. The democratic population of 24.164 billion Silver Vians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Silver City. The average income tax rate is 38.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Silver Vian economy, worth 815 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,749 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, military funding has been stripped back, Sam Silver has just been declared ruler of Silver V in an international press conference, and Silver V has designated Silver City as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Silver V's national animal is the lion and its national religion is V-ism.

Silver V is ranked 12,875^th in the world and 1^st in The AGS Commonwealth for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
