The Capitalistic Kingdom of Shafania is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Tech bros with an iron fist, and notable for its cultivated feral children, ritual sacrifices, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.815 billion Shafanians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Environment and Welfare not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shafaniana. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Shafanian economy, worth 941 trillion Shafani Drans a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 195,556 Shafani Drans, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,524,796 per year while the poor average 6,421, a ratio of 237 to 1.

Jaywalkers are condemned to lives of poverty for their heinous crimes, the government guarantees that tourists will have the ultimate trip on their trips, it's often raining men (hallelujah) in Shafaniana, and Shafaniana moves with the times. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Shafania's national animal is the Shafani Falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Extreme Capitalism.

Shafania is ranked 312,431st in the world and 87th in Astellaria for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -23.66 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
