The Kingdom of Shadeth is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 539 million Shadethians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Shadethian economy, worth 43.4 trillion Gils a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,465 Gils, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, increasing numbers of children in Shadeth have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers, NPCs in MMORPGs regularly interrupt cutscenes with OOC reminders that they aren't real people, and the army lures cannon fodder with promises of a college education. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shadeth's national animal is the Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Shadeth is ranked 256,141^st in the world and 10,913^th in the South Pacific for Most Avoided, scoring 0.85 on the Kardashian Reflex Score.
