The Red Federation of ShadyStans is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Maxwell with an even hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 4.159 billion ShadyStanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ilian. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The frighteningly efficient ShadyStansian economy, worth 597 trillion Cigs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 143,650 Cigs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Undersea volcanoes receive strongly worded letters for violating environmental regulations, witnesses have to run a gauntlet of mob enforcers to testify at trials, the nation's museums are real penny-pinchers, and blood stains the floors of the execution room and the hands of the state. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ShadyStans's national animal is the Shadishian Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shadish Polytheism.

ShadyStans is ranked 160,028th in the world and 3,049th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 126.18382202008 days.
