The Weirding ways of Shadow and Rage is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 25.998 billion Shadow and Rageans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 65.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Shadow and Ragean economy, worth 71.5 trillion Rages a year, is highly specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 2,751 Rages, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Military spending is on the increase. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Shadow and Rage's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Shadow and Rage is ranked 218,696th in the world and 71st in Vlaanderen for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring zero on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
