The Queendom of The Silver Vale is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Queen Madeline with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, national health service, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate population of 1.985 billion Silver Valeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Silver City. The average income tax rate is 76.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Silver Valean economy, worth 318 trillion silver dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 160,507 silver dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Couples are discouraged from marrying until they can rank their partner on a scale of one to ten, taking hostages is a great way to influence government policy, edutainment video games are taking The Silver Vale's students to the next level, and excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Silver Vale's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

The Silver Vale is ranked 16,281^st in the world and 425^th in The North Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 7,914.3 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
