The Republic of Gold Shadow is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Esteemed Leader with an even hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.23 billion Gold Shadowians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of RedCrest. The average income tax rate is 75.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Gold Shadowian economy, worth a remarkable 1,063 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,968 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

There's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety, access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, and people who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gold Shadow's national animal is the pufferfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Dragonist.

Gold Shadow is ranked 177,911th in the world and 4,057th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 82.88003723452 days.
