The Holy Empire of Sons of Shub-Niggurath is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, ban on automobiles, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.297 billion Sons of Shub-Niggurathians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Spirituality, and Industry are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Sons of Shub-Niggurathian economy, worth a remarkable 5,531 trillion Tsathogguas a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an amazing 415,989 Tsathogguas, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Sweet-toothed Sons of Shub-Niggurathians have been left penniless by the VAT on candy, high society is losing its collective head, mothers refer to leaving the house as "the Great Escape", and lending money has become a major liability. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Sons of Shub-Niggurath's national animal is the Cthulhu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sons of Shub-Niggurath is ranked 3,091st in the world and 93rd in the Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 127.46 law-abiding acts per hour.
