The Empire of Shamsadar is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 16 million Shamsadarians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Defense, Welfare, and Education are also considered important, while Environment and Industry are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.6%.

The strong Shamsadarian economy, worth 828 billion Shamsadarian Kabeshes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Average income is 51,780 Shamsadarian Kabeshes, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Tampons are used as cheap fishing bobbers, pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, and party-lovers often change religions just for the weekend. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Shamsadar's national animal is the Persian Lion and Peacock, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Shamsadar is ranked 74,911^th in the world and 174^th in Council of Asia for Fattest Citizens, with 12.25 Obesity Rate.
