The Peace and Quiet of The Silver Strand is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Lord Silver with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 26.679 billion Silver Strandians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Strandingham. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Silver Strandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,668 trillion Silver Crosses a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 100,015 Silver Crosses, with the richest citizens earning 7.4 times as much as the poorest.

The roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril, muscular women are banned from competing in sporting competitions, a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, and punitive tariffs protect local industry. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Silver Strand's national animal is the lobster, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is The Silver Peace.

The Silver Strand is ranked 2,457th in the world and 3rd in Former United States for Most Stationary, with 3,928.70581896 days.
