The Glorious Memeland of Shavo is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Chief Executive Karl Barx with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 12.925 billion people who are better than you live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kalistan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Shavoan economy, worth a remarkable 3,814 trillion vakos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 295,111 vakos, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,455,254 per year while the poor average 34,095, a ratio of 42.7 to 1.

Drawing men's naughty bits isn't considered to be art, future leaders of Shavo regularly dismiss pressing political issues when available options don't conform to their worldview, hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, and it's a marvellous night for a moon dance as the sparks on your home start to rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shavo's national animal is the dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Čemŧäkan.

Shavo is ranked 24,951st in the world and 3rd in Olgea for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,136.22 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
