The Pancratyc Republyc of Shytysle is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, deadly medical pandemics, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.261 billion Shytyslanders 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, well-organized government is solely concerned with Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Shytyslysh economy, worth 299 trillion groets a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 56,978 groets, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 166,942 per year while the poor average 15,339, a ratio of 10.9 to 1.

It's a marvellous night for a moon dance as the sparks on your home start to rise, the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, children who drop their ice cream are fined for littering, and atheists in the nation feel uneasy living in buildings where they were once vilified. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Shytysle's national animal is the shytty pengwyn, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Shytysle is ranked 1,615^th in the world and 1^st in Paradystopi Affiliated States for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 274.33 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
