The Fiefdom of Pan-Shoshone is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.82 billion Pan-Shoshoneans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 21.5%.

The Pan-Shoshonean economy, worth 379 trillion Knots a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 48,506 Knots, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pan-Shoshone's national animal is the Thalasso, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pan-Shoshone is ranked 84,650^th in the world and 12^th in Free Japan for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
