The Commonwealth of Silage is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Anyho Escort with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, daily referendums, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 39.11 billion Silageans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Clamp. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The enormous but inefficient Silagean economy, worth a remarkable 2,757 trillion Litres a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 70,502 Litres, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, more and more people are signing up for the government party, the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, and the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silage's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Silage is ranked 291,974^th in the world and 11,369^th in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -39.42 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
