The Distributist Kingdom of Silverius is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by King Bélisaire with a fair hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 28.031 billion Argens enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port-Royal. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The enormous but inefficient Argent economy, worth a remarkable 1,968 trillion piastres 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 70,241 piastres, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Psychiatrists bizarrely accompany King Bélisaire to meetings with foreign heads of state, it is common to see Maxémon Trainer listed on Argent resumés, arthritic surgeons with tremulous fingers reassure patients that they are in safe hands, and dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silverius's national animal is the raccoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Silverius is ranked 101,880^th in the world and 3^rd in The Coalition of Democratic Nations for Highest Average Incomes, with 70,241.11 Standard Monetary Units.
