The Republic of Silberperle is a tiny, genial nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 12 million Silberperleans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 12.5%.

The Silberperlean economy, worth 653 billion guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 54,461 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is well under control. Silberperle's national animal is the fox, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Silberperle is ranked 125,769^th in the world and 1,169^th in the Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 82.76 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
