The Kingdom of Shaexpierre is a tiny, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, compulsory vegetarianism, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 14 million Shaexpierreans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.7%.

The very strong Shaexpierrean economy, worth 981 billion Golds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Gambling. Average income is 70,138 Golds, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Exterminators swarm Shaexpierrean homes, babysitters are a thing of the past, washing-up liquid looks and smells like baby poo, and the key to a long musical career is government contracts. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shaexpierre's national animal is the Hungry sharks, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Shaexpierre is ranked 25,849th in the world and 9th in The Invaders for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,837.1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
