The You endorse me I endorse you of Shapeville is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.373 billion Shapevilleans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 46.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Shapevillean economy, worth 162 trillion vertexes a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 117,845 vertexes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high, the new cheese tax is colloquially known as "wheel welfare", the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, and anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper. Crime is totally unknown. Shapeville's national animal is the face, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Shapeville is ranked 183,355^th in the world and 2,501^st in The North Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,265.36 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
