The Kingdom of Shatvily is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 466 million Shatvilyians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Todrossa. The average income tax rate is 37.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Shatvilyian economy, worth 23.2 trillion Apsars 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 Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 49,765 Apsars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned White Eagleball fields, Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Todrossa to enjoy their national art, GP clinics are inundated by patients requesting prescriptions for alcohol, and a referendum must be held in order for any new law to be passed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shatvily's national animal is the White Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Shatvily is ranked 114,275^th in the world and 738^th in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 13.76 flags saluted per person per day.
