The Ricky Spanish Easter Egg of Shibutani is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Daniel with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, aversion to nipples, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 13.247 billion Shibutanians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of MAYA. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Shibutanian economy, worth a remarkable 5,547 trillion Bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 418,793 Bitcoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,506,305 per year while the poor average 83,341, a ratio of 18.1 to 1.

Parents giddily refuse to pay their toddlers' medical bills, those who turn the other cheek seem to enjoy being slapped just a little too much, well-off serial killers write monthly checks to avoid jail time, and factory workers offered 20-hour shifts are expected to thank their bosses for the wonderful opportunity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Shibutani's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Church of the Cosmic Skull.

Shibutani is ranked 676th in the world and 26th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 447 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
