The Federation of Silversonicrand is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Wladyslaw Sadowski with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, rampant corporate plagiarism, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.147 billion Silversonicrandians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Goldson. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Silversonicrandian economy, worth 180 trillion Zloties a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 157,323 Zloties, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 877,081 per year while the poor average 14,088, a ratio of 62.3 to 1.

Prospective parents are cheering on the streets as they no longer need a license to have children, NationStates is now a popular brand of laxatives despite Max Barry's protests, Silversonicrandians believe a soft answer turneth away wrath but punitive punishment is much more fun, and translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silversonicrand's national animal is the White-tailed Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Silversonicrand is ranked 53,626^th in the world and 183^rd in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 4,418.89 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
