The BJMShawian project of BJMShawington is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by BJMShaw with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, free-roaming dinosaurs, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.826 billion BJMShawians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Administration, although Industry, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of BJMShawington. The average income tax rate is 65.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient BJMShawian economy, worth a remarkable 1,358 trillion Monies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Retail, Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 114,909 Monies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Colonial subjects have BJMShawian culture shoved down their throats, BJMShaw's opponents have adopted dogs to chase away the mailman, cubicles often double as graves as citizens literally work themselves to death, and winceyette robes are a popular wedding gift. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. BJMShawington's national animal is the Uni, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Warism.

BJMShawington is ranked 55,450th in the world and 6th in The United Federations for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 4,440 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
