The Realm of Shashane is a titanic, pleasant nation, ruled by Imperator with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 14.917 billion Shashani 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 Spirituality, Law & Order, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Gensyz. The average income tax rate is 49.0%.

The Shashani economy, worth 567 trillion Kredyts a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 38,057 Kredyts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, all new "spies" are fifteen-year-old acne-ridden kids on computers, fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits, and stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shashane's national animal is the Wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Ilkism.

Shashane is ranked 285,812^th in the world and 12^th in Fourth Karpati Pact for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.85 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
