The Republic of The Shadows 182 is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its burgeoning hawk population. The cynical, devout population of 1.584 billion Shadows 182ians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 38.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Shadows 182ian economy, worth 46.3 trillion rubledollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,257 rubledollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Shadows 182's national animal is the hawk.

The Shadows 182 is ranked 75,816^th in the world and 1^st in Anti agustan bloc for Nicest Citizens, with 15.09 average smiles per day.
