The State of Shelby Toole is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and complete lack of public education. The hard-working population of 32.919 billion Shelby Tooleans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The minute government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 5.9%.

The strong Shelby Toolean economy, worth a remarkable 1,337 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Pizza Delivery, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 40,622 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary and Shelby Toole has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Shelby Toole's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Shelby Toole is ranked 256,948^th in the world and 7^th in Republic of China for Lowest Crime Rates, with 48.12 law-abiding acts per hour.
