The Principality of Sil Dorsett is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Madeline Ellison with a fair hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 16.838 billion Dorsettians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Norvalle. The average income tax rate is 86.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dorsettian economy, worth a remarkable 1,872 trillion settis a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 111,193 settis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Super-Spud Cinematic Universe is breaking box office records, the government is attempting to revitalize a gutted private sector, the leading national news source is 'my cousin Billy-Bob on MyFace', and coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops. Crime is totally unknown. Sil Dorsett's national animal is the rainbow trout, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Sil Dorsett is ranked 19,164^th in the world and 778^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 286.94 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
