The People's Republic of Shadakar is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 2.089 billion Shadakarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moscow. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Shadakarian economy, worth 227 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 108,867 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

All telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', no-one can foil the ambitions of Big Aluminium, inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, and it takes a village to catch a criminal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shadakar's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Shadakar is ranked 266,751st in the world and 965th in The Communist Bloc for Nudest, with 54.5 cheeks per square mile.
