The Former Monarch of Silver Steps is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by the Hivemind with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, state-planned economy, and smutty television. The compassionate, cynical population of 14.662 billion Silver Steps are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Defense receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City of Silver. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Silver Stepsian economy, worth a remarkable 2,730 trillion *Currency*s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 186,200 *Currency*s, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
All work and no play has rendered the nation's children somewhat intelligent but also remarkably dull, access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, and shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silver Steps's national animal is the AwesomeAnimal™, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Silver Steps is ranked 29,725th in the world and 69th in United Kingdom for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 926.38 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
