The 1989 hit of Love Shack is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Fred Schneider with an even hand, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, ban on automobiles, and aversion to nipples. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.134 billion Love Shackians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cosmic Thing. The average income tax rate is 92.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Love Shackian economy, worth 433 trillion Jukebox monies a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,890 Jukebox monies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Students learn how to disarm mines before understanding basic arithmetic, Fred Schneider's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader, welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Love Shack's national animal is the Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is The B-52's.

Love Shack is ranked 297,475th in the world and 5,782nd in The North Pacific for Highest Workforce Participation Rate, with 42.5 Workforce Participation Rate.
