The Ricky Spanish of Shibutani is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Daniel with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, punitive income tax rates, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 9.546 billion Shibutanians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of MAYA. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Shibutanian economy, worth a remarkable 5,061 trillion Bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is a breathtaking 530,194 Bitcoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,750,166 per year while the poor average 120,165, a ratio of 14.6 to 1.

The new one Bitcoin coin also makes a handy throwing-star, coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops, punitive tariffs protect local industry, and children are often punished for the sins of the fathers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Shibutani's national animal is the cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Church of the Cosmic Skull.

Shibutani is ranked 769^th in the world and 27^th in The North Pacific for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 98,151.49 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
