The Kingdom of Shoinkwishima is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Donte with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 6.206 billion Shoinkwishimen 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Louis. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Shoinkwishiman economy, worth a remarkable 1,252 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 201,882 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A common response to government PSAs is "well, DUH, obviously", holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, the new one Dollar coin also makes a handy throwing-star, and relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shoinkwishima's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Muslim.

Shoinkwishima is ranked 6,878^th in the world and 316^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 108.93 law-abiding acts per hour.
