The District of Shanly is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by privy council chairman with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 21.174 billion Shanlyians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The tiny, liberal, well-organized government prioritizes Industry, with Welfare and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 8.5%.

The strong Shanlyian economy, worth 566 trillion Juno aurums a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 26,775 Juno aurums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, Shanly has designated District City as its capital city, Privy council chairman has just been declared ruler of Shanly in an international press conference, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Shanly's national animal is the quick pink fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Shanly is ranked 257,869^th in the world and 4^th in Bissau for Lowest Crime Rates, with 47.49 law-abiding acts per hour.
