The Königreich of Silberfluss is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Königin Theres Vogel with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, complete lack of prisons, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 12.867 billion Silberflussians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Education, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Silbernestadt. The average income tax rate is 99.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Silberflussian economy, worth a remarkable 8,155 trillion Silver Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 633,858 Silver Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Taking hostages is a great way to influence government policy, the sudden proliferation of nuclear weapons is very queer, the banshee wail foretells skies of death, and diplomacy is a foreign concept to Silberflussians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silberfluss's national animal is the Griffon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Scandzic.

Silberfluss is ranked 11,994th in the world and 3rd in The Universal Order of Nations for Most Stationary, with 2,081.77708432848 days.
