The Empire of Shingento is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory military service. The hard-working, devout population of 268 million Gensonese 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 medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Law & Order, Spirituality, and Defense also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 26.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Gensonese economy, worth 18.6 trillion kins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 69,370 kins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Juries deliberate more than magic 8-balls, orphanages are closing their doors as the government forces parents to actually raise their children, government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, and sexually-starved male dinosaurs terrorise tourists during weekly breakouts from Mesozoic Park. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shingento's national animal is the Gensonese Red Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Shingento is ranked 110,914^th in the world and 292^nd in Horizon for Rudest Citizens, with 51.08 insults per minute.
