The First Aid of Silent Witness is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Silas Silent IV with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 26.909 billion Silent Witnessians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Silenttown. The average income tax rate is 87.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Silent Witnessian economy, worth 717 trillion Quiets a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Tourism industry. Average income is 26,658 Quiets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, Silas Silent IV has just been declared ruler of Silent Witness in an international press conference, La Silence has been named as Silent Witness's national religion, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silent Witness's national animal is the mouse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is La Silence.

Silent Witness is ranked 22,829^th in the world and 4^th in Sweden for Most Beautiful Environments, with 951.45 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
