The Commonwealth of Shannonclare is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 343 million Shana enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 58.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Shanan economy, worth 12.1 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,305 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back, and intelligence agencies frequently invite passers-by into their secret vaults for tea and biscuits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shannonclare's national animal is the turkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Shannonclare is ranked 277,273rd in the world and 272nd in Refugia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 14,616.38 Standard Monetary Units.
