The Empire of Shiya is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by God King Antony with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, strictly enforced bedtime, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 27.539 billion Zyans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gojira. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Zyian economy, worth an astonishing 21,372 trillion Fuhs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 776,073 Fuhs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Most foreigners can't name the leader of Shiya, it is now illegal for teens to view any sites except Club Kitten and My Little Donkey, diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, and the "swords to plowshares" policy has created a generation of farmers that can kill a yak from 200 yards away. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Shiya's national animal is the Nine tailed fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Imperial Cult.
Shiya is ranked 982nd in the world and 7th in Confederation of Corrupt Dictators for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 18,728.43 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
