The Ricky Spanish Easter Egg of Shibutani is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Daniel with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.568 billion Shibutanians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of MAYA. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Shibutanian economy, worth a remarkable 6,244 trillion Bitcoins 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 notable. Average income is an amazing 428,620 Bitcoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,519,859 per year while the poor average 87,193, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

The deaf are perplexed when the weather report tells them that the wind will be "bringing some rain along the Nazi ghosts", commemoration of the Great The North Pacific War costs almost as much as the war itself, a violent scene on television results in mass mobilization of the National Guard, and for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Shibutani's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Church of the Cosmic Skull.

Shibutani is ranked 2,071st in the world and 45th in The North Pacific for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 68,207.44 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
