The Depth of Shinkai is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning six-gilled shark population. The quiet, industrious population of 45.132 billion Shinkaians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Social Policy, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 35.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Shinkaian economy, worth a remarkable 1,300 trillion ballasts a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 28,807 ballasts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The chemosynthetictubeworm is a protected species. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shinkai's national animal is the six-gilled shark.

Shinkai is ranked 221,993^rd in the world and 1^st in AZN Pride for Highest Food Quality, scoring 10.08 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
