The Forest Dragon of Shoyru is a mammoth, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.334 billion Shoyruans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 67.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Shoyruan economy, worth 583 trillion rupees a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,609 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, flatulent people are left to die of cancer at the end of hospital waiting lists, Goldilocks has found a lucrative career as a zoning consultant, and arms manufacturing has been put at an arm's length. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shoyru's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Shoyru is ranked 35,574^th in the world and 8^th in Quarantine Zone for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,424.06 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
