The 1989 hit of Love Shack is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Fred Schneider with an even hand, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, aversion to nipples, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.203 billion Love Shackians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cosmic Thing. The average income tax rate is 92.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Love Shackian economy, worth 440 trillion Jukebox monies a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,817 Jukebox monies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Students learn how to disarm mines before understanding basic arithmetic, Fred Schneider's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader, welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Love Shack's national animal is the Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is The B-52's.

Love Shack is ranked 57,028th in the world and 916th in The North Pacific for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 74.72 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
