The United Socialist States of Shy Guy Nation is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by General Guy with an iron fist, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, parental licensing program, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.947 billion Shy Guys 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shy Guy Falls. The average income tax rate is 38.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Shy Guy economy, worth 970 trillion roubles 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. 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 an impressive 196,085 roubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, only persecuted professionals need apply, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, and caps with skulls on them are the height of fashion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shy Guy Nation's national animal is the ostrich, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cult of Speed.

Shy Guy Nation is ranked 219,906^th in the world and 328^th in Wintreath for Safest, scoring 7.32 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
