The 4starPushStrokerSpecialist of E2 Shaw is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Chief with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The cynical, devout population of 1.385 billion E2Shawians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lungmen. The average income tax rate is 42.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped E2 Shawian economy, worth 40.4 trillion ★★★★s a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,169 ★★★★s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm, things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, Chief's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, and a major religion has been named as E2 Shaw's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. E2 Shaw's national animal is the Zalak, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

E2 Shaw is ranked 297,948^th in the world and 41^st in Lungmen for Most Developed, scoring 50.04 on the Human Development Index.
