The Federation of Silgalt

“From Many, One”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Federation of Silgalt is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 825 million Silgaltians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 20.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Silgaltian economy, worth 41.4 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 50,180 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, nations that kill a Silgaltian can expect a strongly worded letter, televangelists flaunt their expensive cars when they attend charity events, and the atmosphere in Silgaltian boardrooms is turning more gay. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silgalt's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Silgalt is ranked 78,906^th in the world and 199^th in Carcassonne for Most Beautiful Environments, with 597.58 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
