The Reunited Land of The Shadow Republik is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Rogue Shadow with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, aversion to nipples, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed population of 11.909 billion Shadow Republikians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Industry, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shadow City. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Shadow Republikian economy, worth a remarkable 2,515 trillion Credits a year, is highly specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 211,188 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Suburban backyards are seized by the government and turned into national parks, kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history, Rogue Shadow can cry on demand, and travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Shadow Republik's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Shadow Republik is ranked 237,542^nd in the world and 82^nd in Yggdrasil for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -5.01 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
