The Fall of Shy-town is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.666 billion Shy-townians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Shy-townian economy, worth 754 trillion gorillazzes a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 113,144 gorillazzes, with the richest citizens earning 7.3 times as much as the poorest.

The military claims that their threatening letters are signed with the blood of their enemies, the government regrets to say that it is forced to make cuts to citizens, the nation has a strict 'no marauding undead' law (Shy-town has found 1 easter egg), and reassembling shredded papers is the highlight of a spy's day. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shy-town's national animal is the gorilla, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Shy-town is ranked 207,945th in the world and 237th in Stereo Hearts for Most Stationary, with 38.9493847946 days.
