The Empire of SHASLAND is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by SamusHikaru with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 14.582 billion SHASLANDians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yeland. The average income tax rate is 85.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming SHASLANDian economy, worth a remarkable 1,557 trillion SHAS a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,815 SHAS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again, attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, the fire protection service is wholly government-funded, and the government has pledged that not one drop of its citizens' blood will be spilt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SHASLAND's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

SHASLAND is ranked 48,839th in the world and 468th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 917.47092670712 days.
