The Democratic Republic of Silver-Tree is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Ruers with an iron fist, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, unlimited-speed roads, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 10.177 billion Silvanians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tossa Delmar. The average income tax rate is 5.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Silvanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,737 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 268,993 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Farting etiquette is taught in schools, government employees have reverted to carrier pigeon due to never-ending virus scans, an online tea-bagging epidemic is getting worse and (meta)worse, and many believe that the only good Red Squirrel is a dead Red Squirrel. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silver-Tree's national animal is the Red Squirrel, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Farting.

Silver-Tree is ranked 11,758th in the world and 2nd in The Conservative Democracies for Most Secular, with 92.26 Atheism Rate.
