The City of Shkoder is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its daily referendums, national health service, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 27.163 billion Shkoderians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shkoder. The average income tax rate is 29.6%.

The powerhouse Shkoderian economy, worth a remarkable 2,548 trillion alls a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 93,835 alls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Meat prices are soaring as the farming industry struggle under government-imposed restrictions, all government communication requires the imprimatur of the Truth Police, increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, and pilots always remember to send their doctors a Maxxmas card. Crime is a major problem. Shkoder's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
