The Free-Market Confederacy of Siluvia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President Thigbolt Heverforth with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, deadly medical pandemics, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 5.681 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 1.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Siluvian economy, worth a remarkable 1,220 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 214,776 radishes, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,325,510 per year while the poor average 15,102, a ratio of 87.8 to 1.

Summer science camps are regularly raided by narcotics police, burgers often list "miscellaneous meats" in their ingredients, hoping to get pregnant is considered sinful presumption, and a death threat has replaced 'hello' as an official greeting in the nation. 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 32,470^th in the world and 19^th in Mitteleuropa for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 5,343.75 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
