The Empire of Shiletonia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Hugh Jbenis with an even hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 8.942 billion Shiletonians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government is primarily concerned with Healthcare, with Education, Environment, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City X. The average income tax rate is 62.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Shiletonian economy, worth 423 trillion Tonis a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,403 Tonis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shiletonia has designated City X as its capital city, elderly prisoners with severe dementia are reminded hourly that they are evil people by helpful nurse-wardens, recognised healthcare professionals treat diabetes with a grain of sugar in a barrel of water, and Hugh Jbenis has just been declared ruler of Shiletonia in an international press conference. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shiletonia's national animal is the Cockroach, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Shiletonia is ranked 15,647^th in the world and 1^st in Ronny Bagg and the Nouns for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 10,083.63 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
