The Queendom of Shovitupyourania is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Queen Veloce Icaradras with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 6.087 billion Shovitupyouranians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sentis. The average income tax rate is 73.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Shovitupyouranian economy, worth 320 trillion Gold Coins a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 52,661 Gold Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Fashion Channel can only be viewed on widescreen TVs, forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies, purported secret military bases are dismissed by Queen Veloce Icaradras to be highly-advanced toilet factories, and kids these days know how to throw a proper punch. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shovitupyourania's national animal is the Hummingbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Shovitupyourania is ranked 28,789^th in the world and 1,621^st in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 81 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
