The Fiefdom of Shunuuq is a titanic, safe nation, remarkable for its smutty television, parental licensing program, and prohibition of alcohol. The quiet, industrious population of 12.184 billion Shunuuqians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 24.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Shunuuqian economy, worth 505 trillion Golds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 41,522 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Balaclava manufacturers are held criminally culpable for bank heists, election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, and 4-year-olds studying for their mathematics exams are anxious that they will be unemployable in adulthood if they fail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shunuuq's national animal is the Zebra, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Shunuuq is ranked 91,486^th in the world and 14^th in The Labyrinth for Safest, scoring 86.62 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
