The Lucky Ricky Spanish of Shibutani is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by St Patrick with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, daily referendums, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 6.892 billion Shibutanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of MAYA. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Shibutanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,028 trillion Gold bars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 439,391 Gold bars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,342,250 per year while the poor average 111,487, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation, the official Shibutanian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, the year's most anticipated show is "Great Deals on Delicious Meals", and the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth. Crime is totally unknown. Shibutani's national animal is the leprechaun, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Church of the Cosmic Skull.

Shibutani is ranked 37,457^th in the world and 959^th in The North Pacific for Most Armed, with 2.07 Weapons Per Person.
