The Democratic Republic of Silver-Tree is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ruers with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 13.999 billion Silvanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

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 Chef Field. The average income tax rate is 2.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Silvanian economy, worth a remarkable 4,409 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 314,988 Pounds, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative, mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, chalkboards are replaced with billboards in the classroom, and Red Squirrel sanctuaries have been taken over by hydraulic fracturing sites. 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 Flatulence.

Silver-Tree is ranked 2,678th in the world and 1st in The Conservative Democracies for Most Developed, scoring 97.58 on the Human Development Index.
