The Queendom of The Silver Vale is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Queen Madeline with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 1.947 billion Silver Valeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Silver City. The average income tax rate is 76.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Silver Valean economy, worth 312 trillion silver dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 160,507 silver dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Couples are discouraged from marrying until they can rank their partner on a scale of one to ten, taking hostages is a great way to influence government policy, edutainment video games are taking The Silver Vale's students to the next level, and excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Silver Vale's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

The Silver Vale is ranked 118,403^rd in the world and 2,463^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,158.42 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
