The Socialist Federation of Shieldstan is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Xavier Raja Red with an iron fist, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.127 billion Shieldstanis are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Delhi. The average income tax rate is 53.4%.
The very strong Shieldstani economy, worth 83.1 trillion Shieldstani Rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 73,740 Shieldstani Rupees, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.
The wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, the children of Shieldstan are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, Xavier Raja Red's exquisite office door is replaced monthly due to angry petitioners, and children asking questions about science are referred to relevant sections in religious texts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shieldstan's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Shieldstan is ranked 69,833rd in the world and 4th in The Second Asia for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,390.51 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
