The Ancient Cetarium of Shinrogia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Cetari Alaric Shinrog II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 17.303 billion Shinrogians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Talory. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Shinrogian economy, worth a remarkable 3,369 trillion Tanyrs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 194,718 Tanyrs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Local mafias have a tough time disposing of dead snitches without catching the attention of recycling authorities, extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, the nation is committed to nuclear rearmament, and the running costs of homeless shelters are so high that it would be cheaper to buy houses for the homeless. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shinrogia's national animal is the Gryphon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dredryism.
Shinrogia is ranked 249,938th in the world and 252nd in Forest for Most Secular, with 13.32 Atheism Rate.
