The Technological Marvel of Shadowfel is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by The Athen with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 7.475 billion Enlightened have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Black-Fang Citadel. The average income tax rate is 71.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Enlightened economy, worth 905 trillion Data Credits a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 121,171 Data Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The law forbids arson, murder, and low-quality cheese, prisoners can't do number twos without their "toilet buddy" present, even God cannot save you in Shadowfel, and movement-triggered sensors mean that for every door that closes another one opens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shadowfel's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Church of the Broken God.

Shadowfel is ranked 155,500th in the world and 2,150th in The East Pacific for Most Stationary, with 142.7076170004 days.
