The Grey Havens of Shaizan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Eldar Council with an even hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cheerful population of 14.974 billion Elves are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valinor. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Shaizanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,981 trillion Castars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 265,884 Castars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, corrupt paupers spend taxpayer Castars on liquor and tobacco, burgers often list "miscellaneous meats" in their ingredients, and the government is flooded with compensation requests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shaizan's national animal is the Great Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Iluvatar.

Shaizan is ranked 311,529^th in the world and 249^th in The Free Nations Region for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -15.54 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
