The Holy Empire of Sons of Shub-Niggurath is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its lack of airports, compulsory military service, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.279 billion Sons of Shub-Niggurathians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Spirituality, and Industry are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Sons of Shub-Niggurathian economy, worth a remarkable 5,540 trillion Tsathogguas a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an amazing 417,231 Tsathogguas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,341,959 per year while the poor average 98,253, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.

Closed universities are currently being converted into McRonald's restaurants, the nation's laws on image rights are amongst the strictest in the world, afternoon delight in care homes is restricted to a serving of spotted dick at 3pm, and sweet-toothed Sons of Shub-Niggurathians have been left penniless by the VAT on candy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Sons of Shub-Niggurath's national animal is the Cthulhu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sons of Shub-Niggurath is ranked 1,557^th in the world and 39^th in the Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 112.52 flags saluted per person per day.
