The Dominion of Siluvia is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, avowedly heterosexual populace, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 854 million Siluvians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Weser. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.6%.

The all-consuming Siluvian economy, worth 97.3 trillion radishes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 113,962 radishes, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 487,679 per year while the poor average 17,072, a ratio of 28.6 to 1.

Women earn less than half the salary of men if they can even find a job, the populace harbors a fierce hatred of the metric system, foreign policy is to avoid standing up to bullies, and the government is engaging in an agricultural trade war with Maxtopia. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Siluvia's national animal is the horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Siluvia is ranked 251,725^th in the world and 187^th in Lands End for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -11.4 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
