The Democratic Oasis of Silverfish37 is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Khalix with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.772 billion Silverfish 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Silverton. The average income tax rate is 92.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Silverfishian economy, worth 490 trillion silvers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 130,129 silvers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, hammer and sickle-wielding space marines are such stuff that dreams are made on, going on a diet invalidates your passport, and the government is a clear-cut case of tyranny by majority. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silverfish37's national animal is the fish, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Silverfish37 is ranked 240,431^st in the world and 468^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Primitive, scoring -516.03 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
