“Life Comes From-The Sun-Comes From The Tree”

The Forest of Shirakahn is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 4.766 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, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and the Environment. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down, children are raised bilingual from an early age, eminent domain has been abolished, and the government funds large training centres to turn principals into functioning members of society. Crime is totally unknown. Shirakahn's national animal is the principal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the nothing.

Shirakahn is ranked 2714th in the region and 37,172nd in the world for Most Godforsaken.
