The Bandits of Shadowyote is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Jax Grinning-Tooth with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, aversion to nipples, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.813 billion Coyotes 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Camp Shadow. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.7%.

The powerhouse Coyote economy, worth 138 trillion Tailmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 76,532 Tailmarks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 234,863 per year while the poor average 19,291, a ratio of 12.2 to 1.

Children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life, former arms manufacturing CEOs are now delivering food for minimum wage, a punitive tax has been placed on harmful emissions, and military parades quietly tiptoe their way through the streets. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Shadowyote's national animal is the Coyote, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Children of the Coyote.

Shadowyote is ranked 100,974^th in the world and 6^th in VinCorp for Most Corrupt Governments, with 14.61 kickbacks per hour.
