The Federation of Silaheim is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 255 million Silaheimians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 51.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Silaheimian economy, worth 17.8 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,727 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Silaheim City to enjoy their national art, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, the national security service are a bunch of crooks, and the wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silaheim's national animal is the seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Silaheim is ranked 259,173^rd in the world and 141^st in Blue Ridge for Nudest, with 61 cheeks per square mile.
