The Empire of Shltpost is a small, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 29 million Shïtpostianos are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.0%.

The all-consuming Shïtpostiano economy, worth 2.56 trillion memeses a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 88,285 memeses, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 456,523 per year while the poor average 9,278, a ratio of 49.2 to 1.

Leader consults the market before choosing breakfast, rugby players that knock each other over always stop to make sure the other fellow is okay, highway rest stops are stocking up on fallout scrubbing kits, and the military has gone fission for more funding. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Shltpost's national animal is the moais, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Shltpost is ranked 261,377^th in the world and 11^th in Skeridia for Least Corrupt Governments, with 91.07 percentage of bribes refused.
