The Holy Empire of ShyVini is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Vincent with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, triple-decker prams, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.769 billion ShyVinians 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, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mechakrautland. The average income tax rate is 78.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient ShyVinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,830 trillion Bitcoins a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 208,697 Bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

No-one ever lasts longer than a week on a life support machine, spousal homicide rates have tripled in recent months, children often kick Dinosaurs for amusement, and new research always seems to support government initiatives. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ShyVini's national animal is the Dinosaur, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Gandhi.

ShyVini is ranked 10,197^th in the world and 246^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 403.98 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
