The Not going anywhere of Shibutani is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Daniel with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 18.578 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 Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of MAYA. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Shibutanian economy, worth a remarkable 9,536 trillion Bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 513,312 Bitcoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,816,961 per year while the poor average 104,705, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs, gun regulations are so strict even staple guns and hot glue guns are illegal, citizens who use the word "Violet" incorrectly find their WhoTube content taken down, and pet owners make sure their dogs wear diapers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shibutani's national animal is the cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Church of the Cosmic Skull.

Shibutani is ranked 1,585^th in the world and 35^th in The North Pacific for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 79,491.95 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
