The AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH of Shatter1 is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, avant-garde cinema, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.339 billion Shatter1ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 39.3%.

The all-consuming Shatter1ian economy, worth 826 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,573 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Reports of arson have doubled since the introduction of a privatised fire protection service, a murderous reputation can revitalise a flagging celebrity career, people who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned, and the roundel of the Shatter1ian Air Force has become an internationally recognized symbol of destruction. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shatter1's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Shatter1 is ranked 123,518th in the world and 370th in Alliance of Supreme Powers for Smartest Citizens, with 32.94 quips per hour.
