The Silent Queendom of Shy Gal is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Shy Girl with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.278 billion Shy Galians 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 medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bowser's Castle. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Shy Galian economy, worth a remarkable 1,491 trillion coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 132,263 coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shy Girl's Dreadnought-class tankbuster limousine is said to have more ammunition than the entire Brancalandian Army, goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, every week is blindness awareness week, and dessert dishes make up the Shy Galian breakfast menu. Crime is totally unknown. Shy Gal's national animal is the brachiosaurus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Buddhism.

Shy Gal is ranked 185,289^th in the world and 2,777^th in Ambition for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 164.35 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
