Shibutani II

Population11.434 billion

The Republic of Shibutani II is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, aversion to nipples, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 11.434 billion Shibutani IIians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Shibutani IIian economy, worth a remarkable 2,596 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 227,047 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.8 times as much as the poorest.

EULAs remind customers that "Private Mode" is a browser setting rather than a promise, Leader has no checks and balances after the upper house was abolished, diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, and the breathalyser pledge is a traditional part of marriages in Shibutani II. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shibutani II's national animal is the zombie, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Shibutani II is ranked 7,793rd in the world and 1st in New Bilderberg Group for Most Corrupt Governments, with 177.74 kickbacks per hour.
