The Republic of PMC silo1 is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 345 million PMC silo1ians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Social Policy aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.6%.

The thriving PMC silo1ian economy, worth 24.6 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 71,340 pounds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 269,644 per year while the poor average 13,132, a ratio of 20.5 to 1.

Government officials stay up all night in flame wars with their constituents, the government is well known for declaring war on other countries for suspected slights, children are sent to either religious or secular schools, and old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PMC silo1's national animal is the panther, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

PMC silo1 is ranked 32,626^th in the world and 9^th in MJT for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 5,995.43 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
