The Howling Wolves of Shiverry is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Me with a fair hand, and renowned for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 24.272 billion Shiverryians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Spirituality, with Education, Industry, and Environment also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shiver. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.7%.

The very strong Shiverryian economy, worth a remarkable 1,296 trillion Slits a year, is dominated by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Average income is 53,406 Slits, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 290,126 per year while the poor average 5,061, a ratio of 57.3 to 1.

Prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, Egoism has been named as Shiverry's national religion, Me has just been declared ruler of Shiverry in an international press conference, and Shiverry has designated Shiver as its capital city. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Shiverry's national animal is the elephant and its national religion is Egoism.

Shiverry is ranked 47,060^th in the world and 1^st in Nevil region for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 652.48 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
