The Empire of Shingo is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Kobayashi with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 12.974 billion Shingoans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chukyo. The average income tax rate is 47.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Shingoan economy, worth a remarkable 2,468 trillion Yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 190,255 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Agricultural employees work for peanuts, visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Prime Minister Kobayashi, airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, and people often get liposuction to reduce their air fares. Crime is totally unknown. Shingo's national animal is the spotted deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Shingo is ranked 10,652^nd in the world and 426^th in Osiris for Highest Poor Incomes, with 121,578.28 Standard Monetary Units.
