The Free-Market Confederacy of Siluvia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, public floggings, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 4.392 billion Siluvians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of LEGO City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Siluvian economy, worth 927 trillion radishes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 211,067 radishes, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,170,848 per year while the poor average 19,111, a ratio of 61.3 to 1.

International collectors know that a grease-stain on a work of art probably means it's passed through Siluvia, death row is annually emptied to feed the nation's hunger for televised murder-games, LEGO City has become the number one destination for urban exploration in Mitteleuropa, and a burger chain recently changed its name to Mack Donaldz for legal reasons. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Siluvia's national animal is the cougar, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Siluvia is ranked 28,325th in the world and 13th in Mitteleuropa for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 7,196.77 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
