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

The Republic of Shamoji Soldier is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, parental licensing program, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.637 billion Shamoji Soldierians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 59.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Shamoji Soldierian economy, worth 745 trillion Cards a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 132,298 Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers, the reams of paperwork accompanying any electronic item are a recognised contributor to national deforestation, and commercials are consistently recorded in soft white rooms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shamoji Soldier's national animal is the Kuriboh, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Shamoji Soldier is ranked 321,934^th in the world and 4,751^st in Suspicious for Most Pacifist, with 5.08 cheeks turned per day.
