The Empire of United Shiba is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor papa shibe with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and digital currency. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.37 billion United Shibans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shiban DC. The average income tax rate is 92.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient United Shiban economy, worth 405 trillion Shiburos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 120,252 Shiburos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lifelong celibates are surprised to receive government-issue condoms in the post, any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist, park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets, and former stunt pilots are unable to pass the licence test to fly a drone. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Shiba's national animal is the Shiba Inu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shibe.

United Shiba is ranked 239,274^th in the world and 5^th in The Valley Realm for Most Armed, with 0.14 Weapons Per Person.
