The Federal Republic of Shorestone is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 656 million Acadians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bar Harbor. The average income tax rate is 31.7%.

The thriving Acadian economy, worth 52.1 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 79,372 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Government officials across Shorestone are being "encouraged" to adopt American Lobsters to set an example for the populace, earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, orange juice has been renamed yellow juice, and homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shorestone's national animal is the American Lobster, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
