The Quiet Moves of Silent Founder is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Silas Silent XIX with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 26.427 billion Silent Founderians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Silenttown. The average income tax rate is 85.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Silent Founderian economy, worth a remarkable 3,566 trillion Quiets a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 134,947 Quiets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

The upper class have been throwing riots after hunting was recently banned, homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways, newspapers may not print any negative stories about the government, and the government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silent Founder's national animal is the mouse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is La Silence.

Silent Founder is ranked 1,572nd in the world and 1st in The Alliance of Invaders for Most Stationary, with 4,246.70561544 days.
