The Absolute Monarchy of Shortroundia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by King Short Round with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its compassionate population of 2.999 billion enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ke Quan City. The average income tax rate is 95%. A healthy private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines, a ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect, skateparks can be found in every city, and Shortroundia's soft-touch approach to diplomacy has made it known as the 'push-over' of the region. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shortroundia's national animal is the Pelican, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Khôr.

Shortroundia is ranked 4,130th in the West Pacific and 98,058th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -32 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
