The Republic of Silay is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 598 million Silaynons enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 14.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Silaynon economy, worth 45.2 trillion Philippine Pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Trout Farming, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 75,633 Philippine Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government is under the thumb of countless special interests, APCs on school runs disgorge kids via assault ramps, Silay has designated Silay City as its capital city, and the might of the nation's air force has been deployed against people with sticks in boats. Crime is totally unknown. Silay's national animal is the Philippine Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Silay is ranked 94,129^th in the world and 3^rd in Negros Occidental for Highest Average Incomes, with 75,633.69 Standard Monetary Units.
