The Citrus-Scented Republic of Shake Rag is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Ned Ryerson with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, pith helmet sales, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 13.032 billion Shake Ragians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tellico Plains. The average income tax rate is 39.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Shake Ragian economy, worth a remarkable 1,591 trillion Summer Sausages a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 122,103 Summer Sausages, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
The tightness of border controls in Shake Rag leave a little to be desired, being nicknamed "Orange Face" has done Ned Ryerson's credibility no favours, punk-rockers and girl-bands are united in their loss of fashion statements, and political candidates are regularly blocked for minor convictions from their teenage years. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shake Rag's national animal is the Golden Mosquito, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Shake Rag is ranked 276,459th in the world and 217th in Christians for Highest Drug Use, scoring 33.62 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
