The Grand Commonwealth of Silverestone is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by the First Silverestonean Triumvirate with a fair hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ban on automobiles, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.338 billion Silverestoneans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Silvouriksbourg Citadel. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Silverestonean economy, worth 135 trillion skryles 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 100,813 skryles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Time flies when you're not having fun, newspaper stories fill several pages with colorful adjectives, Silverestone successfully hosted the The League Olympics, and there's a lot of hot air coming from the Capitol Building. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silverestone's national animal is the salmon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Silverestone is ranked 5,570^th in the world and 16^th in The League for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.95 percentage of bribes refused.
