The Empire of Silvalbia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by His Imperial and Royal Majesty Greg III with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, otherworldly petting zoo, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.589 billion Silvalbians 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, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Craigtown. The average income tax rate is 32.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Silvalbian economy, worth 232 trillion Silmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 146,175 Silmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Thousands of former welfare recipients are in a revolutionary uproar as the rest of society is enjoying a hefty tax break, the Silvalbian football team for the Maxxmas ceasefire consists only of Intelligence Corps personnel, bad punctuation has come to a full stop, and the breathalyser pledge is a traditional part of marriages in Silvalbia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silvalbia's national animal is the White Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sigma Grindset.

Silvalbia is ranked 12,917^th in the world and 248^th in the South Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 62.13 flags saluted per person per day.
