The Ricky Spanish Easter Egg of Shibutani is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Daniel with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, otherworldly petting zoo, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 13.509 billion Shibutanians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of MAYA. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Shibutanian economy, worth a remarkable 5,780 trillion Bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 427,930 Bitcoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,410,273 per year while the poor average 97,224, a ratio of 14.5 to 1.

The nation's once beautiful countryside has turned brown as farmers spray potent pesticides, nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, and metal detectors have been banned after a bottle cap caused a riot at the beach. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Shibutani's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Church of the Cosmic Skull.

Shibutani is ranked 98,639th in the world and 2,777th in The North Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 241.47 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
