The Ricky Spanish Easter Egg of Shibutani is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Daniel with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, free-roaming dinosaurs, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 13.49 billion Shibutanians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of MAYA. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Shibutanian economy, worth a remarkable 5,762 trillion Bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 427,174 Bitcoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,417,090 per year while the poor average 96,108, a ratio of 14.7 to 1.

People think garlic bread counts as one of their "five a day", the government has organised a nationwide cull of infected cows, prison reforms have replaced communal luaus with communal loos, and heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Shibutani's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Church of the Cosmic Skull.

Shibutani is ranked 913^th in the world and 36^th in The North Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 492.18 kickbacks per hour.
