The Kingdom of Shaitholia is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 464 million Shaitholians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.7%.

The powerhouse Shaitholian economy, worth 43.1 trillion sh€uroes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 92,983 sh€uroes, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 468,887 per year while the poor average 10,280, a ratio of 45.6 to 1.

Citizens hear a diversity of opinions from a range of billionaire-owned corporations, the nation's train stations are widely considered to be the ugliest in Sophia, the nation is renowned abroad for its love of blood and guts, and legislators must raise their hands if they want to speak. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shaitholia's national animal is the human, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Shaitholia is ranked 237,262^nd in the world and 122^nd in Sophia for Largest Black Market, with 202 billion Standard Monetary Units.
