The State of Dzungaria Shan is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 11.572 billion Dzungaria Shanians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The very strong Dzungaria Shanian economy, worth 791 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Soda Sales. Average income is 68,370 betales, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

Military funding has been stripped back, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and Dzungaria Shan has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Dzungaria Shan's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Dzungaria Shan is ranked 254,618^th in the world and 1^st in Sinkiang for Lowest Crime Rates, with 49.6 law-abiding acts per hour.
