The Empire of Shiya is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by God King Antony with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 28.695 billion Zyans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gojira. The average income tax rate is 73.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zyian economy, worth an astonishing 22,467 trillion Fuhs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 782,988 Fuhs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Games of cops and robbers typically end in at least one fatal shooting, the nation's orphanages and maternity wards have been nicknamed 'the Killbot Factories', Gojira University is said to be the modern-day Tower of Babel, and children have nightmares about the eerie red glow and constant whirring of newly-installed machines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Shiya's national animal is the Nine tailed fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Imperial Cult.

Shiya is ranked 313,358th in the world and 301st in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Most Primitive, scoring -1579.45 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
