The Republic of Shibuya V is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.07 billion Shibuya Vians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Healthcare, Welfare, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.8%.

The strong Shibuya Vian economy, worth 87.3 trillion yen a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 42,161 yen, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 271,736 per year while the poor average 2,642, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Shibuya V's national animal is the raven, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Shibuya V is ranked 135,151^st in the world and 1^st in Pumpkin Spice for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 71.76 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
