The Dominion of Shamm

“Don't Tread On Me”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Dominion of Shamm is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Governor-General Sham with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 14.309 billion Shammians 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sung Mi City. The average income tax rate is 1.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Shammian economy, worth a remarkable 4,582 trillion dubloons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 320,264 dubloons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government burgles the houses of holidaying citizens, competing private ambulances racing to be the first to traffic accidents are a major cause of road accidents, the demands of climate protestors are measured in spray-paint can sales, and dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws. Crime is totally unknown. Shamm's national animal is the rattlesnake, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Shamm is ranked 56,181^st in the world and 43^rd in Conch Kingdom for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 5,268.61 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
