The Armed Republic of Shigurai

“Subservient to Kelton, Subservient to Christ”

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

The Armed Republic of Shigurai is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, parental licensing program, and compulsory military service. The hard-working, devout population of 232 million Shiguraians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 20.8%.

The Shiguraian economy, worth 11.5 trillion Shemnis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,537 Shemnis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

No animal is considered endangered if there's another that looks kind of like it, edutainment video games are taking Shigurai's students to the next level, 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days', and on graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shigurai's national animal is the Dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Shigurai is ranked 260,059^th in the world and 1,082^nd in Europeia for Nudest, with 60.75 cheeks per square mile.
