The Constitutional Dictatorship of Shadow Metropolis is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Paul with an iron fist, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.096 billion Metropolisians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Metropolis. The average income tax rate is 92.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Shadow Metropolisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,128 trillion SMDS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 158,991 SMDS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The decision to be oppressed is now made democratically, the nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, the national colors help to make everyone look slimmer, and democratic debates have been removed from the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shadow Metropolis's national animal is the Patriotic Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Shadow Metropolis is ranked 60,516th in the world and 1st in Phonoe 36Z for Most Stationary, with 760.01217331412 days.
