The Republic of Showmance is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its unlimited-speed roads, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 532 million Showmanceans, 507 million of whom are zombies, live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.0%.

The strong Showmancean economy, worth 127 trillion florins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. Average income is 43,635 florins, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 262,282 per year while the poor average 3,278, a ratio of 80.0 to 1.

Criminals lock themselves in their mums' basements to avoid prison, a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, Showmance recently decided against having a capital city, and international trade can be a pain to deal with. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Showmance's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Showmance is ranked 97,329^th in the world and 384^th in Prison for Nudest, with 166.5 cheeks per square mile.
