That's fine. I was planning on explaining more in the OOC, but I'm happy to clear it up for you :)The Silver Empire is referenced because the Golden State uses it as an excuse to keep the standard of living low. For example: "The production of boots is slow because all fundings are going to the war effort. It's for the better good of the State that you have no shoes." The Silver Empire is also made to look like an terrible place through propaganda. I'll explain why the government would do this in the OOC and IC later on.
