The Principality of Hong Shen is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by HH Adon Prince Zhou with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, daily referendums, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 13.773 billion Hong Shens 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 enormous government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sanya Estuary. The average income tax rate is 75.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 88,069 Hong Shen Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
