The Republic of Shun Dynasty is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 3.626 billion Shun Dynastyians 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 large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 40.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Shun Dynastyian economy, worth 36.2 trillion dollars 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. 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 9,986 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shun Dynasty's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Shun Dynasty is ranked 268,971^st in the world and 10,192^nd in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -8.94 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
