The District of Shanly is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by privy council chairman with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 26.327 billion Shanlyians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The tiny, liberal, well-organized government prioritizes Industry, with Welfare and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 8.5%.

The strong Shanlyian economy, worth 704 trillion Juno aurums a year, is quite specialized and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 26,775 Juno aurums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, Shanly has designated District City as its capital city, Privy council chairman has just been declared ruler of Shanly in an international press conference, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Shanly's national animal is the quick pink fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Shanly is ranked 297,234^th in the world and 1^st in Bissau for Highest Average Incomes, with 26,775.82 Standard Monetary Units.
