The Heterochromic forum puppet of Shirahime is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Shirahime with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, rampant corporate plagiarism, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.965 billion Shirahimeans 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 enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Lunalight. The average income tax rate is 71.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Shirahimean economy, worth 397 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 44,363 Delta Eagles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Traveller camps regularly block five-lane superhighways, election ballot papers are so long that unused ones are recycled as toilet roll, arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, and TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shirahime's national animal is the Kitsune, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Everlasting Hate.

Shirahime is ranked 72,105^th in the world and 1,073^rd in Alliance of Supreme Powers for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring 7,320.66 on the Fann-Boi Productivity Index.
