The United Kingdom of Shakova and the Chatham Islands is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Alexandrion XVI with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, public floggings, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, devout population of 8.47 billion Shakovans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ceylon. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Shakovan economy, worth 790 trillion lances a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,277 lances, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Airport announcements inform passengers that flights have been delayed because pilots are having afternoon naps, all statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers, things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, and families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shakova and the Chatham Islands's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Shakova and the Chatham Islands is ranked 11,372nd in the world and 12th in Africa for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 90.3 Effective Tax Rate.
