The UTT Fox of Rism Silikanes is a massive, safe nation, ruled by King Saville I with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, parental licensing program, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.742 billion Rism Silikanesians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Washington DC. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.3%.

The all-consuming Rism Silikanes economy, worth 463 trillion Coppers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 123,874 Coppers, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Rism Silikanes's national animal is the Greater Basilisk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.
