The Free Land of The shadow men is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 127 million shadow menians 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 43.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish shadow menian economy, worth 3.49 trillion Blank cheques a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 27,518 Blank cheques, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The shadow men's national animal is the Chameleon , which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
The shadow men is ranked 274,482nd in the world and 15th in Nova Britannia Prima for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -4.38 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
