Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The United Socialist States of Shaed is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Katarin L'seur with a fair hand, and notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 7.796 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Healthcare and Social Equality are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nouva. The average income tax rate is 97%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative, students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, the 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event, and citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked. Crime is totally unknown. Shaed's national animal is the shaedian cave tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the shaed twillith.

Shaed is ranked 231st in Lazarus and 3,158th in the world for Best Weather, with 113 Metres of Sunlight Above Expected.
