The Principality of Sil Dorsett is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Madeline Ellison with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, free-roaming dinosaurs, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 21.927 billion Dorsettians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Norvalle. The average income tax rate is 85.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dorsettian economy, worth a remarkable 2,527 trillion settis a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 115,291 settis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass, the official Dorsettian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, and programmers often reinvent the wheel. 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 327,203^rd in the world and 4,648^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -15.96 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
