The Holy Gold P-ople's R-public of New Silvstrala is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Pr-sid-nt Vinc-nt Casp-l with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.664 billion Silvstralans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of N-w Silvia. The average income tax rate is 83.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Silvstralan economy, worth 259 trillion Cr-sts a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 155,737 Cr-sts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Volunteers are signing up to take arms against an incursion of flesh-eating zombies (New Silvstrala has found 3 easter eggs), atheistic refugees haven't got a prayer of being granted asylum, aeroplane cockpits no longer have altimeters or airspeed indicators, and Pr-sid-nt Vinc-nt Casp-l's speeches are beloved by insomniacs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Silvstrala's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

New Silvstrala is ranked 6,832^nd in the world and 6^th in Valley of Peace for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 15,996.66 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
