The Democratic Oasis of Silverfish37 is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Khalix with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, digital currency, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.381 billion Silverfish are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Silverton. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Silverfishian economy, worth a remarkable 1,504 trillion silvers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 144,925 silvers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, surfing lessons include how to ward off sharks, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, and Khalix knows that some internet activities are strictly solitary (Silverfish37 has found 7 easter eggs). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silverfish37's national animal is the fish, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Silverfish37 is ranked 289,184^th in the world and 9^th in The Carrot Patch for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -22.27 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
