“You Gotta Do, What You Gotta Do”

The Sultanate of Shaff is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Shafeer Khan with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate, cynical population of 1.1 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shaf City. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Furniture Restoration.

Traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways, most citizens in Shaff are abject pyrophobes after extremely graphic pamphlets were mailed nationwide by the government, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shaff's national animal is the Jaguar, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Shaf Dollar.

Shaff is ranked 1st in the region and 2,306th in the world for Best Weather.
