The Semi-Charmed Retired Life of Shizensky Prime is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 11.751 billion Shizensky Primeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 53.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Shizensky Primean economy, worth 192 trillion Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 16,414 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Terrified tympanists are finding themselves on the front lines armed only with kettledrums, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, all weapon research has been banned, and children as young as six shock their parents by coming out of the closet. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shizensky Prime's national animal is the Tauntaun, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Shizensky Prime is ranked 101,810^th in the world and 12^th in Renegade Islands Alliance for Most Primitive, scoring -18.21 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
