The Republic of Silvaquan is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 551 million Silvaquanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stormhaven. The average income tax rate is 66.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Silvaquanian economy, worth 30.1 trillion Quills a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,580 Quills, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, snap elections are called over every minor impasse, and the government airlifts sacrificial lambs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silvaquan's national animal is the Roc, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Silvaquan is ranked 147,216^th in the world and 475^th in The Frontier Sea for Highest Average Incomes, with 54,580.66 Standard Monetary Units.
