The Federal Democracy of Sillara is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Russell Long with an even hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, otherworldly petting zoo, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 1.76 billion Sillarans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Guineatropa. The average income tax rate is 72.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Sillaran economy, worth 192 trillion Troponas a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 109,617 Troponas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

"Idol-Worship for the Apathetic" workshops are cancelled when no-one bothers to show up, moonshine has made a resurgence, the children of Sillara are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, and the Guinea pig is a protected species. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sillara's national animal is the Guinea pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Guinoism.

Sillara is ranked 26,430^th in the world and 26^th in The Amaranthine Isles for Lowest Crime Rates, with 85.1 law-abiding acts per hour.
