The Republic of Shalimareiland is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.891 billion Shalimareilandians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.2%.

The thriving Shalimareilandian economy, worth 219 trillion Gelds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 76,080 Gelds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 274,530 per year while the poor average 15,064, a ratio of 18.2 to 1.

Marketing departments of corporate giants compete to sponsor little league teams, every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government, anything is permissible when wearing latex gloves, and lending money has become a major liability. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Shalimareiland's national animal is the Siren, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Shalimareiland is ranked 92,463^rd in the world and 9^th in Esamir for Highest Average Incomes, with 76,080.65 Standard Monetary Units.
