The Federation of Shirkhazia is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, zero percent divorce rate, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 188 million Shirkhazians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.7%.
The strong Shirkhazian economy, worth 10.2 trillion kronor a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,210 kronor, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 163,364 per year while the poor average 14,024, a ratio of 11.6 to 1.
Getting an autograph has become harder than ever, torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals, murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, and modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Shirkhazia's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Shirkhazia is ranked 211,024th in the world and 3,881st in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -2.9 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
