The Constitutional Republic of Ship Enthusiasts is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Sir Von Fredrick with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, soft-spoken computers, and compulsory military service. The compassionate population of 2.603 billion Ship Enthusiastians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ship Enthusiast's Paradise. The average income tax rate is 39.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming a Ship Enthusiastsian economy, worth 257 trillion Shipcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 98,844 Shipcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Proper policy proposals prerequire professional peer-reviewed papers, the national security service are a bunch of crooks, the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, and in a baffling press conference Sir Von Fredrick proudly dismantled a broken door. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ship Enthusiasts's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Protestant.

Ship Enthusiasts is ranked 51,003^rd in the world and 617^th in Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,273.24 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
