The Republic of Shouling is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 953 million Shoulingians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Welfare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. The average income tax rate is 34.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Shoulingian economy, worth 32.9 trillion Bahnmis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,477 Bahnmis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shouling's national animal is the Eastern Fox.

Shouling is ranked 128,547^th in the world and 6^th in Circumference for Highest Poor Incomes, with 25,900.66 Standard Monetary Units.
