The Empire of The Shaymen is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Freddy Fox with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, conspicuous electricity pylons, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cheerful population of 4.558 billion Shaymenians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Shay. The average income tax rate is 65.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Shaymenian economy, worth 738 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 161,967 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers, money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them, the "swords to plowshares" policy has created a generation of farmers that can kill a yak from 200 yards away, and medical experts advise that those claiming to be medical experts are probably fraudsters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Shaymen's national animal is the Fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Shaymen is ranked 68,442nd in the world and 1st in Happyfax for Most Stationary, with 689.98801674072 days.
