The Rogue Nation of The Lawless Shores is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Corsair Shadowstep with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, soft-spoken computers, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 3.12 billion Lawless Shoresians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Undershores. The average income tax rate is 81.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lawless Shoresian economy, worth 364 trillion Gold Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 116,670 Gold Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, citizens may not "love, honor and obey" anyone except the State, the working classes live and die on the fields of the farming communes, and a sledgehammer and a spray can are seen as the default tools of political debate. Crime is totally unknown. The Lawless Shores's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is The Church of Corsair.

The Lawless Shores is ranked 24,827th in the world and 363rd in the West Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 7,737.56 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
