The Free-Market Confederacy of Siluvia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President Thigbolt Heverforth with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, deadly medical pandemics, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 5.49 billion Siluvians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of LEGO City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Siluvian economy, worth a remarkable 1,166 trillion radishes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 212,517 radishes, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,165,362 per year while the poor average 19,736, a ratio of 59.0 to 1.

The police have been reduced to using duct tape instead of handcuffs following further cutbacks, the clergy of Christianity remains a single-sex institution, the government prefers to leave the past buried, and it is said that a Siluvian woman's work is never done. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Siluvia's national animal is the cougar, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Siluvia is ranked 31,048th in the world and 36th in Mitteleuropa for Most Conservative, scoring 80.25 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
