The You endorse me I endorse you of Shapeville is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.465 billion Shapevilleans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 46.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Shapevillean economy, worth 176 trillion vertexes a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 120,253 vertexes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events, cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors, referenda are held for every conceivable government action, and the government's stance on marriage is 'Let Shapevilleans marry themselves'. Crime is almost non-existent. Shapeville's national animal is the face, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Shapeville is ranked 27,201^st in the world and 82^nd in The North Pacific for Most Politically Free, scoring 90.57 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
