The One That Hated His Time with of Shieldstan is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by He The Him with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, state-planned economy, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.342 billion Eeeeee are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The City. The average income tax rate is 53.7%.

The very strong Eeee economy, worth 172 trillion Eeeees 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. 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 73,726 Eeeees, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

The children of Shieldstan are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, He The Him's exquisite office door is replaced monthly due to angry petitioners, children asking questions about science are referred to relevant sections in religious texts, and existence has been named as Shieldstan's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shieldstan's national animal is the EEEEEEEE, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is existence.

Shieldstan is ranked 261,980th in the world and 21st in The Dominion of Order for Most Influential, scoring 34 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
