The Kingdom of Shanklin is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by King William I with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 6.502 billion Shanklinians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Old Village. The average income tax rate is 56.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Shanklinian economy, worth 412 trillion lire a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,383 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Home renovation projects take decades to complete, prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, press conferences always end with standing ovations and rapturous applause, and a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League. Crime is totally unknown. Shanklin's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is pagan.
Shanklin is ranked 88,346th in the world and 20th in Wihtwara for Most Stationary, with 515.42176735208 days.
