The Free Land of Shinrokai is a large, safe nation, renowned for its public floggings, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 146 million Shinrokaians 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 juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 40.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Shinrokaian economy, worth 8.61 trillion Shinrongs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,983 Shinrongs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Museums offer moralization or your money back, religious households enthusiastically use whips in private, senior professors are allowed to skip the wait at soup kitchens, and the main interest rates change daily based on the latest news story. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Shinrokai's national animal is the Binturong, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Shinrokai is ranked 185,910^th in the world and 1^st in The Dragon Plains for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -2 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
