The Colony of Shipwreck is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 22.55 billion Shipwreckians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Law & Order, although Environment, Public Transport, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Welfare isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 50.8%.

The Shipwreckian economy, worth 885 trillion Golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 39,276 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shipwreck's national animal is the Pirate Parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Shipwreck is ranked 6,297th in the world and 1st in The Land of Pirates for Most Stationary, with 2,916.71068885952 days.
