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

The Federation of Silves is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Ivan Andreevich Aleksandrovich with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 5.707 billion Silvesians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tortuga del Sol. The average income tax rate is 47.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Silvesian economy, worth 857 trillion shelliuses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 150,308 shelliuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Silves's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, patch v22.1705 - all developers are now paid for work, children who refuse to share their crayons are arrested, and all facts are created equal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Silves's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Turtolia.

Silves is ranked 92,050^th in the world and 35^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,268.05 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
