The Ricky Spanish of Shibutani is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sir Daniel with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.401 billion Shibutanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of MAYA. The average income tax rate is 22.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Shibutanian economy, worth 251 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 179,558 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, behind every great person are three dozen other people passing great memos, the Department of Reduction of Bureaucratic Red Tape has set up a working committee to investigate its own excessive paperwork, and a third of Shibutanians are e-certified CEOs. Crime is totally unknown. Shibutani's national animal is the Zombie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Church of the Cosmic Skull.

Shibutani is ranked 151,400^th in the world and 9,140^th in The North Pacific for Most Pacifist, with 7.13 Cheeks Turned Per Day.
