The Rogue Nation of Schattenlande is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 231 million Schattenlandeans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 19.6%.

The very strong Schattenlandean economy, worth 14.4 trillion Silver Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 62,351 Silver Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, employees who skip lunch to avoid sub-par cafeteria food risk getting fired, even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, and CSI Forest is this year's hit new crime show. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Schattenlande's national animal is the Skeleton, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Schattenlande is ranked 280,307^th in the world and 14^th in womp for Largest Black Market, with 68.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
