The Precious Gemnation of Shirzcaun is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Evelyna Darklight with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, rampant corporate plagiarism, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.306 billion Shirzcaunians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zirconia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Shirzcaunian economy, worth a remarkable 3,655 trillion Zircons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 354,717 Zircons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has solemnly sworn not to look up other nations' internet browsing history if the favor is returned, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, in a baffling press conference Evelyna Darklight proudly dismantled a broken door, and funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience. Crime is totally unknown. Shirzcaun's national animal is the Lobster, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Cult of Books.

Shirzcaun is ranked 22,995th in the world and 23rd in Jeinnhezslhaunia for Most Stationary, with 1,495.22374444508 days.
