The Democratic Republic of Silver-Tree is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Ruers with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 14.145 billion Silvanians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chef Field. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Silvanian economy, worth a remarkable 4,472 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 316,175 Pounds, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

Ratings for sitcom reruns are often much higher than election debates, tuba players are paid to quietly whisper into their instruments, throwing garbage out of your house's front window makes it legally someone else's problem, and passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silver-Tree's national animal is the Red Squirrel, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Flatulence.

Silver-Tree is ranked 242,409^th in the world and 6^th in The Conservative Democracies for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 199.42 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
