The Princessipality of Shy Guyia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Princess Shy Guy with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, vat-grown people, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 21.839 billion Shy Guys enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Guyopolis. The average income tax rate is 96.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Guyian economy, worth a remarkable 3,628 trillion Gold Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 166,131 Gold Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Celebrities sit helplessly as they are labeled "pompous womples" by Princess Shy Guy, if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it... Guyian satellites can detect it, builders across Shy Guyia are blocked up with orders for new public loos, and there's a bright dawn ahead for Shy Guyia. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shy Guyia's national animal is the Yoshi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Guyian Paganism.

Shy Guyia is ranked 5,860^th in the world and 114^th in 10000 Islands for Highest Food Quality, scoring 196.06 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
