The Second Aydinirian Empire of Shahinay is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Khshāyara Cifrianah Zhisūdrissif with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 16.706 billion Aydinirians 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 tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ezhid. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Aydinirian economy, worth a remarkable 3,715 trillion Adrashes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 222,422 Adrashes, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,235,886 per year while the poor average 20,065, a ratio of 61.6 to 1.

Brancaland has gifted over nine thousand putrid moose carcasses to Shahinay as a reminder of their "special relationship", captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, tower block residents are each held responsible for four square inches of front lawn, and home renovation shows are increasingly popular. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Shahinay's national animal is the Ńarmad Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Jarism.

Shahinay is ranked 185,840^th in the world and 4^th in Federation of Allies for Most Devout, with 91.48 prayers per hour.
