OverviewFactbookPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Syndicated Anarchic Regions of Shamian is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Tarrin Kael with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 15.394 billion Shamanians 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 large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Environment, and Industry also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ankh-Morpork. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Shamianian economy, worth a remarkable 4,683 trillion Taols 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 Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 304,253 Taols, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An internet search for the word "bland" produces pictures of Tarrin Kael, nuclear physics is the most popular course at university, the new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies, and passengers often cause a stink on public transport. Crime is totally unknown. Shamian's national animal is the Otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Jainism.

Shamian is ranked 286,042nd in the world and 1,304th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -16.79 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
