The Do-Gooder of Shaun is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.158 billion Shaunians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The strong Shaunian economy, worth 63.3 trillion Pounds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 54,679 Pounds, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

People in Shaun can die peacefully knowing that all their debts are paid, mechanics are often exhausted by their work, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, and cheese lovers have a case of the bleus. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Shaun's national animal is the Zed, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Shaun is ranked 93,422nd in the world and 24th in MHBs New Earth for Smartest Citizens, with 36.92 quips per hour.
