The Königreich of Silberfluss is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Königin Theres Vogel with an iron fist, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.061 billion Silberflussians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Silbernestadt. The average income tax rate is 99.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Silberflussian economy, worth a remarkable 8,300 trillion Silver Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 635,507 Silver Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A massive campaign is underway to ensure the race of Silberfluss remains pure, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, and vacationing Silberflussians expect to be treated as royalty. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silberfluss's national animal is the Griffon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Scandzic.

Silberfluss is ranked 54,275^th in the world and 8^th in The Universal Order of Nations for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,040.25 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
