The Dominion of Shimbonil is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 20.526 billion Shimbonilians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shimbonil City. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Shimbonilian economy, worth a remarkable 1,990 trillion hammers a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 96,998 hammers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The family summer vacation has become a thing of the past following the introduction of the year-round school year, there are no more heroes any more, business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, and badgers are frequently shot for looking at people 'in a funny way'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shimbonil's national animal is the badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Shimbonil is ranked 12,067th in the world and 110th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 2,071.0235356552 days.
