The Corrupt Vampiric Legions of Imperial Shaustria is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Empress Ravenna with an iron fist, and notable for its national health service, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.297 billion Shaustrians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chevalier. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Imperial Shaustrian economy, worth a remarkable 2,684 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 218,335 Imperial Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames, the words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, the military perceives nations hit by natural disasters as "easy pickings", and EpiPen sales have skyrocketed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imperial Shaustria's national animal is the Hellhound, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Synthetic Covenant.

Imperial Shaustria is ranked 5,057^th in the world and 6^th in Concord for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 10,133.18 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
