The Republic of Ronnie Shaw is a colossal, pleasant nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 2.662 billion Ronnie Shawians 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 large government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Healthcare, and Welfare also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 48.1%.

The Ronnie Shawian economy, worth 112 trillion marks a year, is led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,212 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Sex changes are routinely performed at Ronnie Shaw's hospitals, politicians who vacation in East Lebatuck lose their jobs upon their return, foreign musicians that Leader dislikes are turned away at the border, and charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ronnie Shaw's national animal is the crocodile, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Ronnie Shaw is ranked 126,250^th in the world and 62^nd in Stygian Abbey for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 43 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
